One of our players miss a session so I bought a scroll of Illusory Script and cast it on a piece of parchment to make it appear as a scroll of Greater Invisibility (to be ironic). We threw it into a locked chest with a minor trap. The next session the player ended up wasting a charge on his Chime of Opening, taking damage from the trap and getting a fake scroll that he couldn't copy into his spellbook.
Goodness, episode 50 of the 1st level spells already! It feels like you were still on cantrips just a few days ago, hahaha. I love the mind-boggling amount of content you're getting out, excellent work.
This is one of my favorite spells. If you are an Illusion wizard then you can cast this on fancy paper/vellum and using malleable illusions gives you a way of changing the writing whenever. Gives you a better all access pass.
Hm.....ok. Ok. I think I got this one on lock. We start off with a Tiefling Warlock under the patronage of an Archfey. You get that boost to Charisma and Intelligence, which will come in handy later. For your initial proficiencies, grab Investigation and Arcana. You know how to dig out information and you know your magic. For Background, pick Sage and with your bonus Proficiency pick Insight. You know when a person is lying because you lie way more and know every trick in the book. Take 6 levels of Archfey Warlock. Getting access to several Eldritch Invocations. For your invocations, grab Armor Of Shadows, Beguiling Influence and whatever you want as a 5th level choice. Maybe Thief Of Five Fates because Bane helps for some of your Archfey Warlock features. For one of your Warlock spells, grab Illusory Script. Now invest those last 14 levels into an Illusionist Wizard. Make sure you max out your You get a Minor Illusion that allows for both Sounds and Images, but what we're really looking for is the Illusory Reality feature at Level 14. You take an aspect of the illusion that doesn't directly do damage to a creature and make it real. So consider this, take a blank piece of paper, scribble some nonsense onto the page with that 10 gp ink, then cast Illusory Script. Then Bonus Action Illusory Reality, make that illusory script real. This has potential for some heavy Social Manipulation in a campaign, for example. Say you need to convince some guards to let you into a more classified area of a town or stronghold. Use some Illusions and Illusory Reality, along with your proficiency in Deception and Persuasion, with your insane amounts of Charisma. *If you did it right, you should have a +11 to any and all Deception and Persuasion check thanks to Beguiling Influence* and if those guards some how truesight capabilities, they can't use truesight to see through the illusion, since they're technically not looking at an illusion. And if they somehow see through your winning smile, you're an Archfey Warlock! Just use Sleep to knock those guards out and let the rest of your party through the door from the inside with your 60 foot teleporting feature. The papers have been forged by the Arcane Archfey Con Artist.
The best use I've seen for this is information transfer with unbreakable encryption, like reports from a spy. It's better than Sending or Message because the amount of information you can transfer is orders of magnitude higher. It's the DMs call on how much you can write on a "standard piece of parchment" but it's certainly way more than 25 words.
In the show of Doctor Who, the item call Psychic Paper. The difference from Illusory Script and Psychic Paper, Doctor have "Few Sec" before People notice it not real while Illusory Script is real thing. It very good Spell to use for everything you want or you want to waste 10GP. You can use it to sent Secret letter to the King about Enemy in his Rank, very good way warned about the people you care about.
As a DM I’d probably require skill checks and saving throws not to create the script but for its convincingness. Also not to burst anyone’s bubble but fake letters is exactly why seals were invented and widely used
Ritual cast before any addition to your spell book. Ritual caster wizard for a second spellbook, find familiar, and this. A second spellbook at level 1 and it is masked. Get lock to guard it more if you can.
I'm late to the party but don't forget you can also trick people into false contracts with this. If you need it notarized, bribe a lawyer or official to go along with it. Not sure how the DM will take to you owning everything in town but actions have consequences so do this sparsely.
"The writing appears normal and written in your hand", as in your handwriting, so unless you're skilled at forgery your "access to the king" ploy falls flat.
"Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a _different hand_ and language, though the language must be one you know." so yes, you can become an instant forger
@@robbmg9716 That requires the caster to be a forger already, not reasonable IMO. However, I'd require that the caster have at least seen the hand resent and if longer than a few days make an int check to remember unless the Feat that gives perfect memory
@@jeffbenefiel2676 Well if the caster is not a forger, then they cannot really expect to use this spell to forge a handwriting. I think it's completely reasonable, especially as it doesn't really match the purpose of the spell. If the caster could forge the appearance of the handwriting with other spells they know (e.g. if they recall it as you said and they know Minor Illusion or something similar), I would allow some kind of spellcraft check for the character manipulating the spell to work in a way somewhat foreign to it, the character mixing in their knowledge of a different spell into it.

it could be interesting to use it for contracts make something seem differently when they sign then boom u got them as a permanent servant

Thank you sooo much! Things have definitely been growing crazy fast!
The spell says in a different hand, not in any one specific hand. I wouldn't allow it to be in a hand you couldn't forge otherwise.
This is one of my favorite spells. If you are an Illusion wizard then you can cast this on fancy paper/vellum and using malleable illusions gives you a way of changing the writing whenever. Gives you a better all access pass.
I completely agree! I love Illusory Script sooo much!

I couldn't agree with you more Marcos!
As a DM I’d probably require skill checks and saving throws not to create the script but for its convincingness. Also not to burst anyone’s bubble but fake letters is exactly why seals were invented and widely used
I would agree, although the seal argument is a little troublesome when you look at cantrips like mending and presdigitation!
@@ChancesSpellbook I’ve got a hard with illusory script and proficiency in a forgery kit…
We can go wherever we want
I combined this spell with thieves cant for extra protection
Haha double encryption!
And to put even more protection you use your Simulacrum to cast modify memory making you forget, you wrote the message at all!
Ritual cast before any addition to your spell book.
Ritual caster wizard for a second spellbook, find familiar, and this.
A second spellbook at level 1 and it is masked. Get lock to guard it more if you can.
Can you cast this on paper currency?
Very helpful, thanks!
No problem, happy to be of service!

Thank you.
"The writing appears normal and written in your hand", as in your handwriting, so unless you're skilled at forgery your "access to the king" ploy falls flat.
What's the chance that a random guard will know what the king's handwriting looks like?
"Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a _different hand_ and language, though the language must be one you know." so yes, you can become an instant forger

why are you purposely making it hard to listen to you?
you can make a coupon that makes whatever your buying free!
I mean you could make it! Although I don't know it they'd follow through!
@@ChancesSpellbook I mean you could make it a half off coupon and put their signature on it
You are going to run out of content if you keep making videos so fast 7^7.
Haha there's soooo much out there to talk about! Honestly I'm not too worried about it!
@@ChancesSpellbook well now I'm not worried keep the good job uwu
