Comprehend Languages
You can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages. In either case, you must touch the creature or the writing. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute.
Applied Restriction
Magical writing cannot be read, though the spell reveals that it is magical. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the Secret Page and illusory script spells). It does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text.
