As the message is entered the encrypted version is provided via a large dial. The same process is used to decrypt an existing message. Messages encrypted this way are almost impossible to crack, save by magical means. The encryptex has a key which when wound for 6 seconds (1 turn) powers the encryptex for 1 minute. Maximum wind time is 1 minute, giving 10 minutes power.
