Ah, the Terms of Service. Something about sharing of information... yada yada... soul, something about the devil, whatever looks good and sign.

This transforms one page of text per caster level, or 1000 words per caster level (whichever is less) into a more complex and difficult to understand version of itself in the same language, be it heavy prose, excess detail, legalese, or similar writing styles. The text gains additional pages or shrinks the size of the text as appropriate to make room for the now lengthier document. The wording is so difficult those reading it must succeed on a decipher script check against DC 10 + caster level to make sense of what is trying to be said. Failing the check by greater than 5 results in not only no result, but a misunderstanding of the page contents. The change is instant and remains afterwards, and does not change the meaning or language of the text.

This spell may be cast in reversed form, translating complex writing into simple writing if you succeed on a decipher script check. You may use your caster level + 3 + your Intelligence modifier for the purpose of this check instead.

Focus: A pen or other writing implement.
