Effects
​With this spell, the wizard empowers himself and others of his choosing with the ability to speak a secret language incomprehensible to others. Creatures designated to speak the language must be touching each other when the spell is cast.​ Once cast, the characters can choose to speak normally or in their secret tongue. They can speak and understand this mysterious language fluently.​ ​Fool's speech is not recognizable as any known language, nor does it remotely sound like any language. A comprehend languages or tongues spell will not translate it. It can be understood by a character wearing a helm of comprehending languages and reading magic, although the normal percentage chances apply. ​
