Ink Set of Shifting

Wondrous item, common

This small wooden box contains an ink stone, six bamboo-handled brushes with different shaped tips, and an ink stick formed from animal fat and soot fashioned into the shape of a blossoming orchid. The ink is of the finest quality and absolutely silent when ground. When used to create an ink wash painting, the painter may imbue any words written within finished work with the ability to shift and change their meaning in response to a specific gesture or command word as designated by the painter. The ink is often used to hide cryptic messages that reveal themselves through patterns of motion or stories in common parables. A newly crafted ink stick has enough ink to create 20 messages.
