I'm developing a follower for an NPC (long story), but I really like the whole 'blind oracle / diplomat' vibe I'm building into her. The world is a combination of low and high magic (long story), and she's 6th level, so going by the PF build rules and my own world requirements, she gets half book value in GP to spend - works out to 8,000gp.
What I've decided she also does, though, is that she scribes scrolls. (I just like the idea of this blind lady doing calligraphy, you know?) However, what I want is to give her basically a magic item, a western quill or an eastern brush, that a) cuts down the material cost of scribing a scroll to 1/2 or 1/4 standard, and b) cuts down the time spent to equate to that required for the new material cost (i.e. if it's 250gp or less, 2 hours scribing time).
What what you price that to be, and what requirements involved in its creation? I'm thinking major creation ... and maybe Craft: Calligraphy at 5-10 ranks ... ?
