To use the reed pen as a writing instrument it must be filled with [[black ink]] or any colour of [[dye]], it can hold 0.01kg total. All 0.01kg is used up, even if the [[Papyrus sheet#Inscribing|scribing]] action is aborted. The number of letters you can write on a sheet of [[papyrus]] is 121 + (pen QL * 2) rounded to the nearest full number.
The pen is also able to hold smaller items which may have zero weight or volume, such as a [[writ of ownership]], [[settlement|settlement deed]] and [[Bank of Wurm|coins]].
