Autoscribe
This magitech device was created by Brightstone Industries for use in long-distance communication. It is a paired set of one stylus and one box, that is also linked to the master autoscribe.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
The master box is linked together with its "child" and can be paired with others as well, up to ten altogether. A roll of paper needs to be added to the box before use, communications are sent by "radio waves", then recorded by the stylus when received. When a message is written it can be sent to any other box or all at once. This message is received by the others as it is written.
The stylus is attached to an arm that can move around on the page, up and down, back and forth at need. [Like a combination of a seismograph and a teletype machine.]
Significance
This is a very useful item when quick and consistent communication is needed. It is commonly used by the military and merchants.

Raw materials & Components
The box is made of discarded World Tree wood of any type normally found in the Skylands, usually of Cyprus, Elm or Maple. Bamboo is the usual material that the stylus is constructed from. The box is engraved with arcane symbols embodying communication, magic, and the elements. Inner workings of the box have various electrical, mechanical, and arcane components to create the desired effect, all these are powered by a Skystones or attached to a Sky Stone Generator.
Tools
The basic tools needed to make this communication machine can be found in any magitech laboratory. Everything except the electrical components can be made in a basic workshop, but once the box needs to be completely assembled, magitech is needed.
