Here is the scenario:

You cast reduce person on a captive enemy and then put them in a steel strong box that just barely fits their new size. Then you wait and let the spell wear off. What happens?

My theory:
Since Reduce Person is the opposite of Enlarge Person you might think "OK so like enlarge person the magic doesn't allow the person to be damaged by increasing in size within a confined space"

However, unlike Enlarge Person which uses the magic to enlarge the person to fill up the space, it is the wearing off of the magic that increases the size with reduce person, thus no magic is involved and there are no constraints against being crushed by the box, there would be no magic to keep the captive enemy from returning to it's original size.

An effective interrogation threat?

I am playing in a campaign where the powers in charge heavily regulate the use of magic. Every class that has a spellbook, if seen casting a spell in public in a manner not conducive to the order and peace of the realm must submit his spellbook for inspection to the questioning authority. The wizard must have licenses that give him permission to have and cast each spell in his spellbook.

My question is this:

Can a character or NPC that isn't trained in Spellcraft or that has the ability to cast "Read Magic" identify spells within a spellbook?

I have read the "Arcane Magical" writings section in the core rulebook, but it seems specific to understanding a spell to write it into your own spellbook.

Does simply identifying a spell contained within a spellbook require Spellcraft or Read Magic?

How do I convert the Gray Elf subrace to Pathfinder?

Elves in pathfinder get a +2 INT conversion.

Gray Elf template in 3.5 adds (-2 STR +2 INT) to the normal elf race for (-2 STR +2 DEX -2 CON +2 INT).

So would my Gray Elf be (-2STR +2 DEX -2 CON +4 INT) when converted to Pathfinder?

I am merely interested in how the conversion works, not what particular GM's would allow in their campaigns.
