A glowing feather quill appears in the air. You can make the quill copy any writing, script, or runes that you can see within range onto another suitable surface that you can see within range. The original writing remains intact after the duplicate is made. This spell will make an exact copy of magical writing without error, such as that from a scroll, glyph, or a spell from a spell book. Only a feather is needed as the material component to copy nonmagical writing from one source onto another. However, the spellcaster will need a piece of parchment, a book page, or another suitable object to duplicate spell scrolls in addition to the necessary spell components, which are consumed by the spell in the process. A glyph, runes, or writing can be copied onto stone, wood, or another suitable surface, but might not be mobile or easily carried in many circumstances. This spell can only duplicate 1st level spell scrolls (see exception below). In addition, you can't use a spell focus to substitute for the components when copying scrolls.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a higher-level spell slot than 4th level, you can copy a spell scroll one level higher for every two slot levels above 4th. For example, you could copy a 2nd level spell scroll with a 6th level spell slot, or a 3rd level spell scroll with an 8th level slot.
