Mortimer Pencil

Description

This device was created by a Son of Ether mechanical engineer with a love of doodling. Based on the loveable companion to Bill Cosby in the 1980's television show "Picture Pages," this writing utensil came as the natural link between designing machines on paper and then attempting to build them. It uses a Matter 4/Prime 2 combination to physically create all that it draws. The bearer simply doodles out some creation, signs his John Hancock to it, and *PooF* the real thing pops up out of the paper. Notice that this device is highly vulgar when used around sleepers, but can come in handy in a real pinch. Variations include drafting tools, paintbrushes (for painting doors to get out of locked rooms), and chalk (for drawing/tracing outlines, then summoning the deceased with Spirit 4).
