With a wave of your hand, you erase all writing from scrolls, sheets of parchment or paper, or similar objects that you touch. This spell can affect a number of distinct pages or writing surfaces equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
Nonmagical writing is automatically erased if you touch it. A creature holding an object you attempt to erase can make a successful Dexterity saving throw to avoid your touch.
This spell can also erase magical writing, such as a spell found on the pages of a spellbook or within a spell scroll, or end the effects of one spell which relies on writing of some form, including glyph of warding, illusory script, instant summons, symbol, or teleportation circle. When you attempt to erase magical writing, you must make an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell's level. On a successful check, the writing is erased, ending the spell or rendering the scroll or spellbook pages nonmagical. On a failure, this spell fails and the casting is wasted, and a harmful spell is triggered if applicable (such as with glyph of warding or symbol).
