Secret text alters the contents of a book or data module so that it appears to be something entirely different. The text is altered to appear as you chose. When used to target a data module, this functions as if the module had a fake shell containing data of your choice, and a creature accessing the module can discover the presence of the secret text spell by succeeding on a Computers check with a DC equal to this spell’s DC. (This does not allow the creature to discover the original data hidden by the secret text.) Explosive runes or rune of imprisonment can be cast upon the secret text.

You are able to reveal the original contents as a standard action by speaking a command word chosen at the time this spell is cast. You can then peruse the actual page and return it to its secret text form at will by speaking the command word again. You can also remove the spell by double repetition of the command word. A detect magic spell reveals magic on the text or module in question but does not reveal its true contents. True seeing reveals the hidden material and a secret text spell can be dispelled.
