By means of this spell, the mage gives physical form to the mudras of a particular Rote, creating a Grimoire.
This spell has two slightly different, albeit related, applications: The mage may either inscribe a Rote she knows, or she may copy a Rote from another Grimoire she has on hand.
Only a single Rote can be inscribed per casting of this spell, but a given Grimoire may hold multiple Rotes at a time:
A large book can hold anywhere from 10–15 Rotes, while a fist-sized carved stone might only hold one or two, and a computer database could hold a theoretically unlimited number.
When the spell’s Duration expires, the inscribed Rotes fade and cannot be recovered.
+1 Reach: For one point of Mana, the spell’s Duration is Lasting.
