I think it is not, ( sounds like she's about to explain in case it is, to someone elseβ€”

and she does.
)

I have an enchantment that I have bound to a particular pen. What I do, you see, is that we will sit togetherβ€” my hand over hers, as she writes. I will dictate slowly a piece of writing, and using this pen and this ink, my participant will take what I say in trade and write it in the language we wish to share. This is a ... means of conveyance. I gain their understanding of the words, their literacy. For a time, their handwriting, though that passes.

( or doesn't, if she takes certain pains. she can still forge flint's signature so skilfully he might think he had written it, did he know her less well. )

It provides me a quicker framework to the language itselfβ€” literacy, not perfect conversational fluency, but with work I can gain the latter much faster than I otherwise would have.
