Effect: Creates false documentation
Keywords: Illusion.
This spell causes official documentation, symbols of authority, etc., to appear authentic and appropriate.
The spellcaster shuffles briefly through some objects, selects one, and makes a Spellcasting (10) test.
If successful, the affected object appears as it should based on the observer’s expectations. A bundle of associated papers is one object, but travel papers for multiple people are multiple objects. The object must be the appropriate size and shape, or it requires an additional success (for example, a rock requires an additional success to look like a badge of authority, but any papers suffice to appear as a cargo manifest).
Inspecting an affected object gives the inspector a Sensing test using the appropriate ability. If the story provided about the documentation doesn’t match what the inspector expects to be present (whether the inspector is correct in their expectation or not), the inspector is granted +5 to the Sensing test for each major detail that doesn’t match and would typically raise a red flag.
When the spell is cast on an appropriate forgery, the spell’s Sensing Difficulty gains +1 for every point above 10 on the Detection Difficulty.
