How it works

Scribe binds a sheet of paper that moves magic from block to block. Right-click a block holding your own magic, and the Scribe lifts one binding onto the sheet. Scribe lifts Toggle Block. Then right-click a fit empty block to lay it down there. Scribe deposits Toggle Block. Each lift spends one charge.

Good to know

• The sheet carries one binding at a time. Deposit it before lifting another.
• Magic bound to its own pattern stays put. Teleporter is bound to its pattern — the Scribe will not lift it.
• It moves only your own magic.
• Sneak and right-click the air twice to erase what the sheet carries.
• It can lift the endless supply from a Bottomless Cauldron.

Tips

Use it to move a designation, a toggle block, or a trap without rebuilding the rune that made it.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Scribe. Hold a sheet of paper while you wake the rune.
