Fountain pens with invisible ink were introduced at Ebon Gate in 2023 and sold at A Vague Inkling.

Analyze

You analyze the fountain pen and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
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 black.

Up to 10 doses of ink can be added by a merchant, up to a maximum of 20.  This one has 9 charges remaining.
