Thousand Words Ink

Thousand Words Ink is despite its name no fluid but rather a bottle used to store ink. The bottle is a magic artifact rumored to be created by the fabled First Civilization and only a few remain today of which most are prized treasures of great organizations or personalities. Its usage is rather simple and incredible useful for scholars everywher in Creation: One has to simple fill the bottle with at least 100 mililitres of any type of ink then once seal it and wait a few moments for the enchantments to work. Then simlpy unseals it and pour a few drops on an empty sheet. From thereon every word said by the holder of the bottle is automatically written onto the paper. Even mistakes can be removed by using the bottle cap as a type of eraser that removes all ink that comes in contact with it.
The only drawback in its useability is its inability to form paragraphs, headlines and similar punctuation marks because today no one speaks the language of the First Civilization that is needed to use the currect commands. Although a few magicians tried to understand and/or replicate its enchantments they all failed and sometimes even destroyed their artefact until no one wanted to risk their prizeless treasure anymore.
There are a few othe properties of the botttle that are more or less usefull:

  • The exterior of the bottle is extremely durable and reists temperature ranging from -100 to 500 degree celsius
  • Every filling of ink lasts exactly one thousand words no matter the actual used amount of ink
  • Excessive use depletes the enchanments and they slowly recharge themselve
  • The recharge can be accelerated by heating the bottle and/or placing it in sunlight
  • Opening the bottle before the enchanments are finished results of the instant vaporization of the bottles contents
  • In the case the energy required for the vaporization exceeds the capabilities of the bottle, it bursts
