Blood Twin’s Quills
Aura Faint Illusion; CL 5th
Slot No Slot; Price 20,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.
Description
A pair of delicate, gold filigree and crystal quills lie side-by-side in the velvet-lined box. A crystal vial etched with scenes of sacrificial victims completes the set.
The quills function as a Masterwork Artisan Scribe Set, except with used to Scribe Scrolls. When used with that intent, a small incision opens on the caster’s arm. The trickle of blood from the wound fills the crystal vial used for ink. The blood ink activates the second quill and allows the user to make a second, identical scroll. These scrolls can only be read by the scriber and take only the time it would normally take to make one. To anyone but the scriber, the scrolls read as nonsense, even with the use of Read Magic and Comprehend Languages. The scrolls cannot be sold, as they would not work for another user. The scriber takes 1 bleed damage per hour of crafting to account for the ink used. Any healing of the wound while scribing the scrolls will negate the effect of the quills and the second scroll will not be scribed. If the scroll has a material component, you must double it to account for the second scroll.
A little blood and sacrifice to get the powers flowing.
