Description: This golden quill is razor sharp. If the Arcane Mark dragonmark spell-like ability of the True Dragonmark of Scribing is activated by someone wielding the Pen of Living Parchment, the wielder is able to apply his Arcane Mark dragonmark spell-like ability directly onto the flesh or hide of a creature (living, undead or otherwise). During so requires 1 minute, requiring the person marked to be either unconscious, restrained or willing. Once applied, the Arcane Mark is permanent and cannot be removed or suppressed by any method short of a Break Enchantment, Limited Wish, Miracle or Wish effect. The DC to dispel the effect is based on the caster level of the person activating the Arcane Mark dragonmark spell-like, not the Pen of Living Parchment itself, plus +5.

Pens of Living Parchment are typically used by justice systems to mark criminals with identifying information about their crimes, but rarely, truly fantastic, if mundane, tattoos are created as well.
