Item: Codebreaker's Parchment
This finely crafted, seemingly mundane parchment is useful for writing sensitive documents. When words are written on this parchment, they instantly scramble into unrecognizable script, requiring a DC 20 check to Decipher Writing. Both of the parchment's activations require speaking a password or pass phrase, imbued into the parchment when created. A character must critically succeed on the check to Identify Magic when examining the parchment to learn the password.
Activate—Burn After Reading 1 (concentrate)
Effect The words on the parchment seem to catch fire, completely burning away while leaving the parchment unharmed and ready to bear more text.
Activate—Decode Writing 1 (concentrate)
Effect The scrambled words align into the originally written script.
