This spell appears to create a colored marker in the
air beside a flat. Vertical surface. In actuality, it converts the inanimate
forces present in front of the surface into light-light whose form and duration
can be controlled by the caster. Usually, the mage will create a marker out of
light that will then write words or draw diagrams "on" the flat
surface. The surface that can be so affected may not have an area greater than
3 meters, however, and it must be reasonably flat. If can be of any
composition. The letters can be produced or changed within seconds of the
mage's command. The whole area, or just selected parts may be affected
immediately.
