Calligraphy treats writing as a delicate, beautiful art. Calligraphers produce text that is pleasing to the eye, using a style that is difficult to forge. Their supplies also give them some ability to examine scripts and determine if they are legitimate.

Components. Calligrapher's supplies include ink, a dozen sheets of parchment, and three quills.

Arcana. Although calligraphy is of little help in deciphering the content of magical writings, proficiency with these supplies can aid in identifying who wrote a magical script.

History. This tool proficiency can augment the benefit of successful checks made to analyze or investigate ancient writings, scrolls, or other texts, including runes etched in stone or messages in frescoes or other displays.

Deception. A calligrapher's skill with their supplies can be used to create false documents or forge signatures, particularly official documents and contracts.

Identify Document. You can examine a piece of writing to determine if it was created with calligrapher's supplies. You can also determine the age of a document and whether it is genuine or a forgery.
