Mapmaker (spell)

Mapmaker is a Special-type Making/Breaking spell that "prints" a map onto a surface, based on the holder's perception.Magic, p.118
* Duration: 1 hour. The spell does not not expire if the scroll's user moves off the edge of the map; it just fails to inscribe anything until the wielder moves back on. The inscriptions themselves are permanent.
* Cost: 4 to cast. 2 to maintain.
* Time to cast: 10 seconds
* Prerequisites: Inscribe and Measurement
Mapmaker is limited by the lower of the caster's spell skill and their Cartography skill -- as such, this spell, as an enchantment, can vary wildly in quality, depending on the mapping skills of the wizard who cast it!
== Other Notes ==
The map scale, orientation, and general design are declared by the caster. Mages with Cartography skills may still benefit from this spell as they can keep their hands free while exploring.
== As an Enchantment ==
* A: A scroll that is self-mapping, updating itself whenever its holder enters a new area (and spends energy to activate it). Energy cost to create: 100
* B: Wand or staff (presumably can cast upon scrolls and such). Energy cost to create: 300
