A Vague Inkling, Showroom

[A Vague Inkling, Showroom - 8084445]
Walls of pale grey stone enclose the spacious building, while thick rafters of oak support the layers of a compact thatched roof. Partially covering the polished wooden floor is an oval braided rug mixed with a wide range of green. Centered in the room is a live-edge maple table draped with a forest green velvet runner. Next to a curtain-draped archway is a series of bronze hooks fashioned in the shape of various skeletal creatures.

This pen holds ink that can be made invisible by exhaling on the paper after writing.  To reveal the writing, WAVE the paper over matches, candles, and various fires.  It only works with mail paper.  You may also RUB or PONDER the pen.

Your pen can be altered with a long or a show, but it will run out and need to be replaced or refilled.  It can be an ink-filled quill, ink-filled stylus, or a fountain pen.  If it is a fountain pen, it should be made from wood with a metal nib.

The ink color can be changed by any merchant.  The ink color should be no more than two words and make sense for someone to write with.  It is currently dark azure.

Up to 10 doses of ink can be added by a merchant, up to a maximum of 20.  This one has 10 charges remaining.
