Erase was transmutation spell that caused mundane and magical writing to vanish.[2]
Effect
Erase removed writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from up to two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. It removed explosive runes, glyphs of warding, sepia snake sigils, and arcane marks, but it did not remove illusory script or symbols. Nonmagical writings were automatically erased if touched and no one else was holding them. Magic writings had to be touched. If an attempt failed to erase explosive runes, a glyph of warding, or a sepia snake sigil, the runes, glyph, or sigil became activated instead.[2]
History
The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Raliteff in -675 DR and was originally known as Raliteff's strike.[1]
