In the world of magic, there are spells that have the power to create amazing effects. These spells allow witches and wizards to perform incredible feats, from conjuring fire to transforming objects. However, what if one could duplicate these powerful spells? Imagine the possibilities that could arise from having multiple copies of a spell. To duplicate a spell is to replicate its effects, allowing the spellcaster to use it multiple times. This could be achieved through various means, depending on the nature of the spell and the abilities of the individual. Some spellcasters may possess innate duplication abilities, allowing them to effortlessly create copies of spells.
Why would you want to duplicate it at a lower level? Can't think of a good reason, but all sorts of situations come up in play!
If you read this to mean You are still casting wish , but it has the effect of the other spell, then the duplicated effect includes the following text When you cast this spell using a spell slot of X level, it does Y. An alternative interpretation would be that wish is enabling you to cast the other spell without using a spell slot and without taking an action or expending components.
Some spellcasters may possess innate duplication abilities, allowing them to effortlessly create copies of spells. Others may require certain magical artifacts or potions to facilitate the duplication process. The advantages of being able to duplicate spells are numerous.
Spell to duplicate a cheap nonmagical object?
Is there an existing spell that can duplicate a cheap nonmagical object, such as a handwritten note?
Fabricate ?
Minor Creation?

Thanks for your response. Given the limitations of those spells, it seems both of those would imply the need a Linguistics roll to create a forgery, in order to create a "copy" of the note, which could still be detected as a forgery.
I suppose I can instead try to create a spell of my own (especially with the new guide in Ultimate Magic).
Illusory Script. Compel your reader to believe that the note's the real deal. Or Silent Image and a good Bluff check: "Yes that note over there---the one that you shouldn't try to touch---is genuine.
Many situations that could be solved with a duplicated handwritten note could be better solved with a note that reads "I prepared explosive runes this morning".
2E's Complete Wizard's Handbook has a 1st level spell named Copy and a 4th level spell named Duplicate.
I found a conversion to 3E here. (Where copy become a cantrip)
Apparently a cantrip called Scrivener's Chant in Source Seekers of Secrets which does the following:
Spoiler:This spell imbues a quill with animate energy and rapidly transcribes words from one page to another. The quill copies a written work at the rate of one normal-sized page per minute. The Linguistics skill can be used to make a convincing copy, but otherwise the reproduction is written in the hand of the caster. You must concentrate upon the material being duplicated for the spell's duration and provide new blank pages as required. The scrivener's chant requires blank paper and a quill or other writing materials, in addition to the material components.
This spell cannot duplicate magical writing (including spells and magical scrolls), though it can duplicate non-magical writing from a magical source.
The 3.5 Spell Compendium has a cantrip named Amanuensis which copies nonmagical text.
Firstly, it provides a means of conserving magical energy. Casting spells can be taxing on a spellcaster, especially if they are particularly complex or powerful. By duplicating a spell, one can effectively cast it multiple times without depleting their magical reserves completely. Furthermore, having multiple copies of a spell grants a spellcaster flexibility and adaptability in various situations. They can cast the same spell in different locations simultaneously, increasing the spell's overall effectiveness. For example, a wizard could use duplicated offensive spells to target multiple enemies at once, enhancing their chances of victory in a battle. Duplicating spells can also play a crucial role in research and experimentation. By creating duplicates of a spell, a spellcaster can study its effects in a controlled environment. This allows for better understanding of the spell's mechanics and potential applications. Additionally, duplicated spells can be modified and combined with other spells to create even more potent magical effects, leading to groundbreaking discoveries in the field of magic. Despite its potential benefits, the act of duplicating spells is not without its challenges. For one, it requires a deep understanding of the spell being duplicated. A spellcaster needs to comprehend the intricacies and nuances of the spell in order to accurately recreate its effects. Failure to do so could result in faulty duplicates that do not function as intended, or worse, unintended side effects that could be potentially dangerous. Furthermore, the act of duplicating spells may come with its own limitations. Some spells may be inherently resistant to duplication, requiring more advanced techniques or specialized knowledge. Others may have limitations on how many duplicates can be created, or how long they can be sustained. It is essential for a spellcaster to be aware of these limitations and work within them to achieve the desired results. In conclusion, the ability to duplicate spells opens up a world of possibilities within the realm of magic. It provides spellcasters with greater flexibility, conserves magical energy, supports research and experimentation, and enhances their overall effectiveness. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges and limitations that must be navigated carefully. Nevertheless, the ability to duplicate spells remains a coveted skill among practitioners of magic, allowing them to unlock new levels of mastery and power..
