Editing Character:Larana Sirai (section)

===Artifact 2: Audient Brush (no attunement, Larana’s Recorder)===
The Recorder is one of the earliest Artifacts Larana ever forged for herself, and she is rather proud of it.  A simple thing, it was based on vague memories of similar devices from half-remembered inspirations from previous Exaltations, but she is fond of it nonetheless.  When provided with paper, and activated with the expenditure of three motes, the Recorder takes down dictation from anyone who speaks within earshot of it.  Larana can order it to ignore certain speakers, or strike out certain conversations, if she so chooses.  The Recorder uses different colors and shades to represent different people (though it cannot defeat attempts to disguise oneself), and its calligraphy designs itself to represent the speaker’s mood and intent.  When reading over the writings later, a reader can roll Perception+Linguistics at a difficulty of half the speaker’s Manipulation+Socialize (minimum 2) to discern these things.  The Recorder can acquire more paper for itself, so long as the paper is made available to it, and Larana tends to make certain when it is used that it will have sufficient materials for the task.  As a final bonus, the Recorder can create its own ink, handy when it needs to represent large conversations between ten or twelve people.
