This magic item is extremely interesting and is the combination of two different magic items. There are few transformable items which are enchanted in both forms. This combines two magic items, a common magic item with a magic weapon.

The first magic item is a pen of endless ink. The enchanted pen never runs out of ink and is extremely popular with scholars and practitioners of magic. The pen is relatively common as a result. Because of its common nature, most people who scan the possessor for magic items and sense that the pen is enchanted will assume that it is simply a pen of endless ink. While some are fairly plain, others are highly decorated and in some cases the pens are works of art.

The Second magic item is a magic sword, usually a long sword. When the command word is given, the pen will transform into a sword. A common command is in Elven, "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword." Unlike most transformable weapons, it is enchanted so that it is indestructible and is always sharp. The weapons are extremely high quality and is well balanced.
