This enchanted writing implement is of great
use to a <wizard>
|or| illusionist attempting to enscribe
a magickal spell scroll. It gives its
user a 10% bonus to the chance of successfully
writing a spell onto a
scroll. The quill is only good for six
uses (six spells), and loses its
magical property when ths sixth spell is
finished. Each usage counts
against the quill?s capacity, whether or not the spell in question was
successfully transferred to the scroll.
If the quill is used along with a special ink that is attuned to the
item, the chance of success in the preparation
of a scroll spell is
increased by an additional 10%. The manufacture
of this ink is a
costly and time-consuming process, taking
at least a week and requiring
ingredients of at least 1,000 gp in value
to make enough ink
to last for six usages. This special ink
must be mixed with the ink
that a particular scroll normally requires.
A bottle of this ink may be
found along with the quill, but the ink
will never be discovered by
itself.
