Believed to have been borne of the same magic as ''[[Read In My Voice (3.5e Spell)|read in my voice]]'', this spell has two applications known as the Ritual Form and the Gate Form. To use the Gate Form, the Ritual Form must have been performed at least once.
'''Ritual Form:''' The caster prepares a ritual over the course of one hour with a blank book in handand material components in the form of ritual inks. The ritual is not subtle as during casting eldritch text begins to seep from the blank pages of the book used as a focus component and began to spread across the land up to 1 mile/level in diameter, centered upon yourself. At the end of the ritual the surrounding landscape is transformed and transported into the book, becoming written text detailing the land, its people, and anything else caught up in the zone. The land is reduced to barren featureless terrain in the real world, though it can always be terraformed and taken over by nature once more.
The landscape is now contained within the book, and the focus book becomes a Minor Artifact which is unable to be destroyed by conventional means.
