    I’m no artificer, but surely, whatever trigger is activated by reading the text would require it to be in the original language, not the player’s

      Nah, it’s the intent of the words not the words themselves. If you have an understanding of the words then you naturally supply the intended intent.

          Not YOUR intent. The word’s intent. The meaning the words impart. If you read ‘eat shit’ you know it means to eat shit, not that it makes you want to eat shit.

            seems dumb. makes more sense that reading the scroll aloud would do it. knowing the lexigraphs and being able to put syllables to them, not translating it into whatever language
