Erase

The erase spell removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from one to two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. It removes explosive runes, glyphs of warding, sepia snake sigils, and wizard marks, but it does not remove illusionary script or symbols. Non-magical writings are automatically erased if the caster is touching them; otherwise, there is a slim chance of failure. Magical writings must be touched, and are much more resistant to the effects of this spell.

Note: This version of erase originally appeared in the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons from TSR. Its use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
