| The character can understand
the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written
messages. In either case, the character must touch the creature or
writing. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into
the material, merely its literal meaning. The spell enables the
character to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write
it.
Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per
minute. Magical writing can not be read, though the spell reveals that
it is magical, but Comprehend Languages is often useful when deciphering
treasure maps. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such
as the Secret Page and Illusory Script spells). It does
not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal
text. |
