Description

A rough pen made from a section of a reed straw.

Usage

To use the reed pen as a writing instrument it must be filled with black ink or any colour of dye, it can hold 0.01 kg total. All 0.01 kg is used up, even if the scribing action is aborted.

The number of letters you can write on a sheet of papyrus is 121 + (pen QL * 2) rounded to the nearest full number.

Also used for writing recipes or almanac reports - in these cases, the pen and dye/ink quality do not matter - the whole document will be written regardless of quality.

Notes

The pen is also able to hold smaller items which may have zero weight or volume, such as a settlement deed and coins.
