A Spell of Rare Sorts

The Magicians come into possession of a book of spells written by an unknown author. Its pages made of special parchment that is so powerful it is immune to being destroyed. The only problem--the words are written in a language and symbols not known to man--leading them to believe the book is cloaked in a spell to disguise its true words to the naked eye. So certain that the book contains something that will help them defeat the beast, they search for a way to unveil its language. Having no luck with uncloaking spells, they began looking for a different solution. After weeks of searching ,as well as much trial and error, they finally acquire a magical object(thanks to Lovelady) known as 'The Glass of Translation'. An object that when held above any words or symbols-known, unknown or even made up-would manifest itself in the language best known to the person that held it. It is by this they come across a spell sure to help them in their quest to fight the beast.
