condition until the second
key word is spoken, either by the caster or the paper's designated recipient.  A

key word permanently and prevent decryption forever.

from gaining any
useful information from the caster.  There is also a 50% chance that the caster

object already
possesses in such a way that those opposed to the caster gain absolutely no
magical effect from
the item whatsoever.  There is a 90 percent
probability that the spell will work exactly as planned, but 10 percent of the
time the spell will
backfire leaving the item useless to all creatures, whether friendly to the

spell's duration.  Intelligent items cannot
be altered by this casting.

Eldron's Second Chance

Saving Throw: Neg.

     This spell allows a caster to send an object or creature back in time in
accordance with the
below chart.  Once in the past an opportunity to relieve and even alter that
portion of his or her
life is presented. Upon travel however the
creature/objects returns to the state it was at that time, ignoring any gains
made from that time
forward, and any losses.  If the thing that is sent back is sentient all memory
is retained in spite
of this regression and changes can be made.  When the time at which the spell
was cast is again
reached the spell ends and time continues as normal with the exception of any
benefit or curse
which has occurred because of changes made.  This spell can be cast on any given
creature only once within a one week time period.  The material component for
this spell is either
an hourglass with sands from limbo (not destroyed in the casting) or Diamond
dust of at least
600 gp in value which is consumed in the
casting.
