By means of read magic, the character can read magical inscriptions on objects that would otherwise be unintelligible. This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a cursed scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and the character has read the magical inscription, the character is thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of read magic. The character can read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. The spell allows the character to identify a glyph of warding with a successful Spellcraft check against DC 13 or a symbol with a successful Spellcraft check against DC 19.
