The amount of letters you can inscribe is affected by:
*Choosing dye, granting a base of 10 letters
*Choosing ink, granting a base of 100 letters
*QL of sheet
*QL of reed pen
*QL of dye or ink
*Dye has an offset of 10 letters*Ink has an offset of 100 letters.The number of letters you can inscribe is therefore equal to ''(the offset10 for dye or 100 for ink) + (QL of dye/ink) + (QL of papyrus sheet) + (QL of reed pen)''
You are limited by the characters that you can use when inscribing. If you try to use disallowed characters (including question marks), you will receive the following message: ''The inscription contains some characters that are too complex for you to inscribe''
