Solomon's Silent Scribe

1st-level illusion

Solomon's Silent Scribe creates an invisible, magical scribe that transcribes what you dictate. Upon casting, words spoken by you within range are written onto a piece of paper or parchment you own. The spell can capture speeches, lectures, or even casual conversation, but it cannot record magical spells, effects, or anything not spoken in a language.

In addition to text, the scribe can create simple, non-detailed images to accompany your words, such as diagrams or sketches, if you describe them. This feature is especially useful for illustrating concepts or ideas mentioned in your dictation.

If instructed, the scribe can also produce beautifully written pages suitable for formal documents or artistic presentation using calligraphy.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by 10 minutes for each slot level above 1st.

Lore:

Solomon's Silent Scribe was created by Solomon Penwright, a wizard known for his love of knowledge and his vast collection of written works. Solomon often found himself overwhelmed with ideas and theories but lacked the time or patience to document them all.

To solve this, he created a spell that would allow him to dictate his thoughts without the need for physical writing, thus enabling him to record his extensive knowledge while engaging in other tasks. He meticulously designed the spell to respect the integrity of the spoken word and the authenticity of the original thought.

The spell quickly became popular among scholars, scribes, and historians, who found it invaluable for documenting long passages of text or for capturing the essence of spoken lectures. Solomon's Silent Scribe is celebrated as a testament to Solomon's dedication to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge.
