Sanctifico Documentum

The Sanctifico Documentum is an ancient humeran abjuration spell cast upon scrolls and magic documents which creation must be halted. The magic imbued into the parchment is preserved through this spell, without its protection the magic is thought to fade after a few moments, rendering the scroll useless.

Nowadays it is believed that magic is only imbued into the scroll once it is completed, but a lot of mages all over Varel still use the spell just to be sure.

The spell has both verbal and sematic components.

To continue writing the abjured document and adding magic to it, instead of on top of it, the abjuration must be lifted. There is only one way to lift a sanctifico documentum, and that is by casting an Aperio Documentum on it. It is said that the spell may be used an infinite amount of times on the same document.

The sematic component
The mage gently holds their wand and circles counter clockwise over the document as they whisper the incantation. Once the incantation has been recited, the mage taps the center of the document once with their wand.

The incantation
The incantation goes as follows:

in virtute et numine ego sanctifico documenti huius. Sit magia continebat ponere continebat usque fati tempus advenit annota.

This translates to modern english:

By the power of the deity i hallow this document. May the magic contained maintain contained until the time of fate arrives.
