[Thaumatology] Magic Item Design Game

[Donny Brook]

Quills of Elaboration are cursed items of uncertain origins, produced in unknown numbers by an unknown authoritarian regime centuries ago.

The Quills are able to take on the appearance of current-tech writing implements (though whether any have become a keyboard is as yet unverified). Their original (and ongoing) use is to be infiltrated by secret police etc. into the hands of unknowing revolutionary writers, pamphleteers, etc. Anyone using a Quill is incapable of effective, trenchant writing and instead produces long, nearly impenetrable volumes full of philopohical digressions, excessive description, mind boggling jargon, narrow but lengthy definitions, and other execrable writing flaws.
