Morvariana’s Timeless Library
Transmutation
Level: Wizard 9
Components: V, S, M, XP
Casting Time: 24 hours
Range: Anywhere within the area of effect
Area: One room at least 5 feet by 5 feet, with no open windows or doors,
up to 400 square feet/level, ceiling up to 10 feet high/3 levels
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The room in which the spell is cast becomes a preservation chamber for old books, scrolls, manuscripts, and documents of any kind. Decay caused by the passage of time, moisture, flame, extreme temperatures, and other forms of damage and degradation have no effect on such items within a Timeless Library as long as they are not removed from the room. The documents may be handled and viewed as normal within the chamber. Materials may be transported safely from one such chamber to another if the two rooms are directly adjacent to one another or through the use of Teleport or similar spells.
Morvariana’s Timeless Library fails if another spell is cast in the room during the casting. However once in place, only spells of 9th level or higher, such as Mordenkainen’s Disjunction, can disrupt or end the effect. This restriction also applies to spells already in effect in the room at the time of casting. In addition, the spell is ended if the room suffers enough damage to expose the whole interior to the elements. If a Timeless Library has a window or door that leads directly outside, keeping it open for 24 hours continuously is considered sufficient exposure.
Any creature attempting to remove documents from a Timeless Library, cause harm to documents within the room, cause damage to the room itself, willfully expose the interior to the elements, or use powerful magic or other means to disrupt the spell’s effect must make a Will save (DC 20 + CL at the time Morvariana’s Timeless Library was cast) to do so. A failed save means thieves stop at the door, Teleport spells fail (except for those whose destination is another Timeless Library), paper will not burn or tear, ink cannot be erased or smudged, the room cannot be breached, and even spells of 9th level or higher have no effect. A creature taking such actions is allowed a saving throw for each act of destruction until it fails. Further attempts by that creature that day automatically fail. The creature may attempt new saves 24 hours after the initial failure on the previous day.
If documents are successfully removed from a Timeless Library or if the spell is disrupted for even a moment, degradation of the documents caused by the passage of time takes effect immediately, such as what would have occurred had the materials never been preserved.
Material Component: A powder composed of diamond, emerald, ruby, and sapphire dust with a total value of 1 gp per square foot of the effected chamber.
XP Component: 1 XP per square foot of the effected chamber, minimum 100 XP.
