To use this spell, the wizard needs an ordinary quill pen and a piece of new parchment. When the spell is cast, the pen will rise up and hover for a few seconds, then begin writing in a compact, neat script. No actual ink is needed, as the marks are magically inscribed. The script repeats one local rumour (usually one which the caster has not heard, there is a 1-in-10 chance the caster has actually heard the tale). The pen relates one rumour for every two levels the caster possesses. The rumours are ones that are actually told locally, either openly or not-so-openly, and their veracity is not at all guaranteed. The pen will not respond to detect lies or such, as it is merely relating ambient bits of story, not solid facts. The rumours usually only consist of a couple of sentences, but these tell the main points of the story. The material component is the quill pen used.
