Just because it'd be fun and probably make DMs use non-common more often in events too. The spellcasters get a new utility spell that interacts with a fun RP tool on the server (languages) and the proliferation of the spell making non-common more used also lets people who don't know the spell but just happened to invest in the right trinket or take the right language at creation shine for a few beautiful moments.

Comprehend Languages Divination Level: Brd 1, Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 min./level You can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages. In either case, you must touch the creature or the writing. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. The spell enables you to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write it.

Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. Magical writing cannot be read, though the spell reveals that it is magical. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the secret page and illusory script spells). It does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text.

Tongues Divination Level: Brd 2, Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 10 min./level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: No This spell grants the creature touched the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature, whether it is a racial tongue or a regional dialect. The subject can speak only one language at a time, although it may be able to understand several languages. Tongues does not enable the subject to speak with creatures who don’t speak. The subject can make itself understood as far as its voice carries. This spell does not predispose any creature addressed toward the subject in any way.
