The particularity of this writing tool is that books written using it are magical, as their words can go out from the pages and interact with the reader in different ways.

This is the oldest kind of pen. It has the following parts:
These ones are more modern than traditional ones, but aren't too different. They have the same parts as a traditional one but also an ink container which is united to the feather and the metal tip, which can be recharged and is more practical than using an external ink bottle.
While the magic that makes the words to surpasses the limits of reality and pages is added to the pen when it's being manufactured, the way a written work interacts with the reader depends on the kind of magical ink used. There are several kinds of magical inks with different kinds of magic and them can be mixed for creating new kinds.

That seems very fun! So you could have your book turn its pages for you as well as the writing shine in the dark? Is there also a magic that could read the words for you?
Thanks!! :) I'm glad you like it! Yes!, there's lots of types of magical inks with different effects, these one listed are just a few. The light ink can make the writing shine in the dark if the book is being readed in a place with no light.
