This item is a simple "writable parchment". On activation the player will be able to name the item (new name is "Parchment: <title>") and enter the content of the parchment in a text box. Afterwards it can be read from again, either silently (text is only sent to player) or aloud (PC speaks the written text). Also marked invisibly as local variable on the item is the account name and PC name of the writer, and after writing the filled parchment is marked as Plot so it can not be sold. Written parchments hold their content (local variables) when used on PWs.
To use, simply include the scripts in the .erf and put the parchment item where appropriate.
Changing the examine description text was my first idea as well, but that script function (apparently) simply does not work. If it does at some point, it would be nice to be able to add it.

Great Idea! But, would be nice to be able to examine the object and see the writing like a book, instead of it being in a dialogue screen. But, on the other hand I love the idea of reading it out loud!
