Scroll of Mapping II (Magic Scroll)

These scrolls, when unrolled, automatically map wherever its owner goes. When the command word is spoken within 20' of the scroll, it clears itself of all previous maps and begins again. The scrolls command word is usually written on the scroll. If it is a common word, this could cause problems for the person using it, as the scroll would continue to erase itself. The scroll keeps a legend of what its possessor sees, noting scale, direction, and the symbols for doors, pits, and other features. Objects such as secret doors do not appear on the scroll unless the possessor finds them. If the scroll is not cleared within 10 days after it is last used, it erases itself. Therefore, when found as an item of treasure, it is likely to be blank. A typical scroll of mapping is 18 inches long and 12 inches wide. The wielder is free to designate the scale of any map drawn, and the scroll automatically centers the map on the page. However, if the map becomes too large to fit, the scroll automatically clears itself, then continues to map.
