	The domains a rewrite can be associated with include Air, Animal, Chaos, Death, Destruction, Earth, Evil, Fire, Good, Healing, Knowledge, Law, Luck, Rewriting, Plant, Protection, Strength, Sun, Travel, Trickery, War, and Water.		The domains a rewrite can be associated with include Air, Animal, Chaos, Death, Destruction, Earth, Evil, Fire, Good, Healing, Knowledge, Law, Luck, Rewriting, Plant, Protection, Strength, Sun, Travel, Trickery, War, and Water.

	==COMPONENTS==		== COMPONENTS ==

	A rewrite’s components are what you must do or possess to execute it. The Components entry in a rewrite description includes abbreviations that tell you what type of components it has. Specifics for material, focus, and XP components are given at the end of the descriptive text. Usually you don’t worry about components, but when you can’t use a component for some reason or when a material or focus component is expensive, then the components are important.

	'''Concentration:''' The rewrite lasts as long as you concentrate on it. Concentrating to maintain a rewrite is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Anything that could break your concentration when executing a rewrite can also break your concentration while you’re maintaining one, causing the rewrite to end.

	'''Scrying:''' A scrying rewrite creates an invisible rewrite-based sensor that sends you information. Unless noted otherwise, the sensor has the same powers of sensory acuity that you possess. This level of acuity includes any rewrites or effects that target you, but not rewrites or effects that emanate from you. However, the sensor is treated as a separate, independent sensory organ of yours, and thus it functions normally even if you have been blinded, deafened, or otherwise suffered sensory impairment.

	'''Summoning:''' A summoning rewrite instantly brings a program or object to a place you designate. When the rewrite ends or is ~~dispelled~~, a summoned program is instantly sent back to where it came from, but a summoned object is not sent back unless the rewrite description specifically indicates this. A summoned program also goes away if it is killed or if its hit points drop to 0 or lower. It is not really dead. It takes 24 hours for the program to reform, during which time it can’t be summoned again.		'''Summoning:''' A summoning rewrite instantly brings a program or object to a place you designate.

	'''Calling:''' A calling rewrite transports a program from another plane to the plane you are on. The rewrite grants the program the one-time ability to return to its plane of origin, although the rewrite may limit the circumstances under which this is possible. Programs who are called actually die when they are killed; they do not disappear and reform, as do those brought by a summoning rewrite (see below). The duration of a calling rewrite is instantaneous, which means that the called program can’t be ~~dispelled~~.

	'''Creation:''' A creation rewrite manipulates matter to create an object or program in the place the rewriter designates (subject to the limits noted above). If the rewrite has a duration other than instantaneous, rewriting holds the creation together, and when the rewrite ends, the conjured program or object vanishes without a trace. If the rewrite has an instantaneous duration, the created object or program is merely assembled through rewriting. It lasts indefinitely and does not depend on rewriting for its existence.

	A failed saving throw indicates that a character fails to notice something is amiss. A character faced with proof that an illusion isn’t real needs no saving throw. If any viewer successfully disbelieves an illusion and communicates this fact to others, each such viewer gains a saving throw with a +4 bonus.
