The mage extracts minute traces of tass from
his Awakened Pattern, shaping the energy into an
enchanted pigment invisible to normal senses. To
the appropriate Mage Sight, however, the ink glows
brightly and distinctly.
Upon casting this spell, the mage exudes invisible
ink from any or all of his fingertips for as long as he
continues writing. Once he stops work for longer than
a minute, the magic runs dry, and he cannot continue
without casting the spell again. While the magic lasts,
he can mark surfaces using his finger as a stylus, or he
may dip a quill or other writing implement into the
plasm, depending on preference. The visibility of the
text depends on the Arcana used to cast the spell. By
default, the pigment glows brightly when viewed with all forms of Mage Sight. However, mages can also make
ink that requires Prime-based Mage Sight to see, and
may similarly specialize a text with the “color” of another
Arcanum by incorporating a dot of that Arcanum into
the casting as a conjunctional effect. It is worth noting
that a mage cannot see his own Supernal Script without
Mage Sight, so unless he intends to write blind, he must
cast such a spell on himself first.
Mysterium Rote: The Englightenment Quill
As the preeminent scholars of the Awakened, members
of the Mysterium have regular need of bottomless
inkwells, especially inkwells that help keep their secrets
and mysteries out of sight of meddling Sleepers. The
practical uses of this utilitarian spell are nearly limitless,
from hiding a grimoire inside a mundane book to
leaving mage-only graffiti as a subtle warning.
