Arcanist: Infusion

Magic Quill

This infusion can be placed on a quill.

The quill doesn’t require ink. When you write with it, it produces ink in a colour of your choice. You can erase anything you write with the quill if you wave the quill over the text as a bonus action, provided the text is within 5 feet of you. You must be a spellcaster to attune to the magic quill.

Infusion Options

Assistive Quill

Once between long rests, you can use the quill to automatically succeed on any one ability check that involves writing (such as forging a document or writing a speech).

Scroll Quill

When you finish a long rest, you can choose one 1st level spell from any spell list. You create a temporary spell scroll of this spell. This special item can be activated like a spell scroll (though a wizard cannot scribe it into their spellbook) and lasts until it is activated to cast the spell or until you finish a long rest. While the scroll is in existence, you can treat the scribed spell as if it was on your class spell list. In addition, you can also use the quill to cast a spell on a piece of parchment, a stone tablet, or similar, storing the spell as a temporary spell scroll. This spell similarly lasts until the scroll is activated to cast the spell or until you finish a long rest.

Weapon Quill

You can turn the quill into a magic weapon. As a bonus action, the quill becomes hard as metal and hovers around you allowing you to mentally command it. Treat the quill as a magic dart that returns to your space and hovers around the you after each attack. When you use this ability, and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can make a spell attack with the quill against a target within range. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). Once you activate the weapon quill, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, or you use a spell slot to activate it again. If you use a spell slot to activate the quill, the quill can target a number of creatures equal to the expended spell slot when you attack with it until you lose concentration.
