Effect. For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any spoken language that you hear. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text.

Special. This spell doesn't decode secret messages in a text or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn't part of a written language.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, the duration is 8 hours. When you use a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, the duration is 24 hours. When you use a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 30 days. When you use a spell slot of 9th level or higher, the spell lasts until dispelled.
