Re: Book Translator Spells I have to agree that transform seems the correct way to do this, it's a much easier way to build. If you wanted to go the UT route, you would have to cast UT on yourself, and manually copy the book by hand. You are technically not actually translating the book with the Minor Transform spell, all it is doing is changing the words into a different language. If you copy word for word a book written in Latin, Hebrew, Spanish, whatever, your gonna have one heck of a time figuring out what they are talking about.

I wanted to try and build a character similar to the D&D arcane archer but not sure how to build everything. To limit his power the idea I had was he couldn't just cast from any arrow, he had to use already pre made Imbued Arrows. This is some examples I have put together so far Imbue Arrow - Minor Transform - Arrow into Imbued Arrow - Healed back by removing inscriptions - 1d6 (Set effect 3 points to make it easy) Reduced Endurance, Charges (3), Focus (OAF Arrows Easy to Obtain), Focus (OAF Magical Paint Difficult to Obtain), Gestures (Throughout), No Range, Requires a Skill Roll, Extra Time (1 Hour), Concentration (0 DCV Throughout) 15 Active Points / 1 Real Cost (In effect this would create 3 Imbued Arrows taking 1 hour to create) I went with set effect just because it seemed easier, though not really required.) -------------------- Flame Arrow - RKA 1d6 - This spell basically adds an additional 1d6 Fire KA to your Imbued arrow Seeker Arrow - Minor Transform 1d6 - Imbued Arrow into Imbued Arrow with Advantage (Indirect - Defined Origin (Caster), Fires in Any Direction) (This spell I need help with, I don't really know how to do it correctly, I guess another way the power could be done is to just add PSL? Bonus to OCV (Only vs Cover Bonus) Standard Adds/Limits Incantations Spell Requires a Skill Roll, Focus (Imbued Arrow- Expendable - Easy to Obtain) No Range Any additional Advant/ Limits that should apply to the powers? I am trying to find ways to make my powers more affordable, Concentration and Gestures I didn't think apply since using a bow already requires this. The other way I could do this would be to make the arrows like you would potions. Instead of creating Imbued Arrows, Each Arrow Power would require me to spend time preparing it ahead of time. I like the idea of being able to choose which Power to add to the arrow when you fire it instead of having to prepare each one ahead of time, so I don't get stuck with a backpack full of Flaming arrows I cannot use because I am fighting a Fire Elemental or something,

I wanted to try and create a spell that could transform a book that is written in one language into the same book but translated into a language the character desires. I came up with this spell idea because trying to translate a book using such spells as Boadlane's Lens of Enlightenment would take a very long time since the Spell costs 3 End per Phase. Which could drain you fast unless you have a slow speed or huge Recovery. I figured I could combine this spell with the Fantasy Hero Grimoire's Wizard's Scribe Spell. Which simply makes an exact copy of a book/Scroll. This way I can make a copy of the original, and then translate the copy into my language. (Preserving the Original just in case something goes wrong during the translation, or to bypass/keep intact any magic on the original.) The way I figured it would be built is a Minor Transform Book X into Translated Book Y correct?
