Description:

This quill is crafted from silver, copper, a Siberys dragonshard for a tip and usually a long feather or a handle made from ash. As part of the House Sivis legal arsenal, it provides the following benefits to anyone with the Mark of Scribing that wields it.

First, the pen never runs out of ink and can change the color of the ink with simply speaking the desired color in Gnomish while held. Second, it doubles the speed at which one can write normally. This does not cover transcribing spells or making scrolls, but does apply to any other applications, including Illusory Script and use of the Linguistics skill. Lastly, it provides a +5 insight bonus to any Linguistic checks involving writing, including forgeries.

Construction Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Illusory Script, creator must have the Mark of Scribing
