An archivist's dream and a scribe's nightmare. Touch the quill to old parchment, whisper a request, and it will show you anything written upon the page, even if concealed by magic or age. However, it also has a habit of changing ink colours out of sheer mischief. Once turned all the labels in my potion rack green. Nearly drank a sleeping draught thinking it was nettle tea.
The eccentric wizard Grangomelle
The quill is carved from the feather of a long extinct bird. Its enchantment is subtle but potent, allowing the user to uncover hidden notes or illusions in written texts. It cannot create false writing but occasionally shifts existing script into dazzling colours.
