The next page of the book offered a brand new surprise. The page glowed a vibrate blue color as a line of runes appeared just as they had before when you first read the book. Also like before, they seemed to translate into perfect English, so you could read them.
"Shroud Spell", you read the footnote aloud. "A spell that can allow the caster to appear as another being to everyone around him. Hey, this might be just what I needed!"
You continued to delve into the book, studying every part of the contents that had appeared so far. Apparently, the book acted sort of like a teacher for the owner. It didn't allow the reader to simply jump to the most powerful spells without first gaining some mastery over the common ones. You also made note that the book was primarily for illusion and transformation spells, so you couldn't expect to find anything like a fireball spell right out of your favorite roleplaying video games.
That wasn't going to be a problem for you though, just the fact that you had came into possession of such an artifact was enough to make you giddy with excitement. You couldn't wait to see what else you were going to unlock as time went on.
You returned your attention back to the "Shroud Spell". According to the text, the spell was a bit unlike the voice spell, which you learned would last permanently until you touched your mother again. This "Shroud Spell", would only last for thirty minutes tops based on your current skill level as an illusionist. The spell did not require you to touch your mom either, instead it called for a reagent of sorts meaning you'd need to steal a hair or something from your mom if you wanted to pull it off.
Still, this was the best plan you could come up with if you wanted to remain on the track team. "Alright, let's think about this..." you said to yourself still using your mother's voice.
If the book was to be believed, all you had to do with take the bit of hair in your hand and mutter a few runic lines then everyone would see you as your mom for the next thirty minutes. The meeting with Professor Pinkerton was going to be at 8 o'clock, fifteen minutes before your first class but it was going to be during homeroom. That meant you were going to have to ask to go to the bathroom and cast the spell once in there.
From there you'd have to bolt to Mrs. Pinkerton's classroom to get to the meeting on time, then bolt all the way back to homeroom exactly thirty minutes after you cast the spell. If anything went overtime, you'd probably end up in a heap of trouble but if that did happen at the very least you could not let the book and its powers be discovered.
You'd have to take into account all of the variables including how long it would take for the spell to take effect, but of course you were feeling pretty confident about the whole thing already. You could always practice a little with the spell right now to play it on the safe side, or you could wait until Monday and try it then. You did have some homework that was supposed to be done anyway...
