Score Scroll
Mats Req: 1 Parchment Paper, 1 Quill Pen, 1 Magic Ink
Posts Req: 1
The Score Scroll is a template that can be filled out with any kind of music and shifts accordingly. The music can be added by anyone capable of playing the music or with the knowledge to write the notes in, no matter who they are. Once finished, the scroll either becomes blank or stays as it is, depending on the wish of the composer. Then, this scroll is usable by anyone when performing music. The scroll will help to system-assist the user into playing the contained song, but it does not control the user. Therefore, lacking experience and practice will result in mistakes being made. Naturally, if you do not know how to 'shift' to the correct octave for different instruments and keys, using this scroll creatively may be difficult. The scroll will wear out over time. The scribe that makes this creates an empty template, so the composer may edit the description and name of this item. Beware conductors who may put in a full concerto. Each 'craft' creates 3 scrolls.
Scribes can copy documents, so they can automatically copy one document to another.
Explanation: Streamlined score scrolls in mab, basically. It's sheet music that will assist you in playing the song itself, but if you don't know how to play an instrument or something, it's not like you magically get better. You'll still have trouble playing unless you practice (like having terrible Musical Knowledge or Playing Instrument rank in Mab).
Of course, bards aren't exempt from needing practice either. They might have a bit of an easier time, but practice is universal. Practice, play the instruments, have fun. And of course, if you have enough of these, you can even make yourself a jam band~
Vocals are naturally included.
It's 3 scrolls because it doesn't make sense not to have those materials, but also you'd probably be making a lot of these. Ideally, you don't want someone spending all their money on score scrolls which basically just enhance RP flavor?

Crafting Recipe Proposed: (describe your recipe idea as thoroughly as possible. Try to describe how the item works in-RP and less on how it's crafted OOC.)
Crystal Dreams
Mat Req: 1 Magician's Paper, 1 Invisible Ink
Post Req: 1
Crystal Dreams provides a one sided upwards projection of whatever the owner wants, essentially projecting a hologram. The hologram cannot extend horizontally beyond the bounds of the paper it's on, meaning that if you have a 1 square meter paper, it can't extend outside that square. The complexity and height (vertically) of creations is dependent on both the ingenuity of the user, their proficiency with magic objects (grimoires or magitech?), and a hard cap produced by the level of Crystal Dreams itself. This object is essentially able to create holograms that can go anywhere from completely transparent to completely opaque, making it useful for setting up sight walls and blocking vision for the less intelligent AI. The object itself is highly vulnerable, so cutting a scroll made of this will result in half becoming unusable. Good for shenanigans, although because everything is holographic, there's no solid component. Some people swear the object itself 'feels' like mana, which often results in a different feeling based on the creator of the illusion (a cool feeling vs a warm feeling). The scribe that makes this object can rewrite its description for size purposes. This object can be used on any object that needs Magician's Paper (and imparts properties of this item onto the crafted item)
Explanation:
Uh basically taking the glowing properties and fwooshing properties of the two objects and puts them together to make a hologram projector. Scoria wants to make a topographical map and then combine it with his Half-Gaia Map + Heart's Compass for later so he can make a proper 3-d map of stuff, but like the Magician's Paper before that provides a 'dynamic surface' to work with, this is a new material that provides a 'dynamic workspace' except in 3 dimensions. Clearly there are limits based on how good the person is with manipulation, plus an obvious hard cap based on the level of the material itself. Not sure what other explanation I can give to make this make sense, and the 'recipe proposed' is really jumbled, so I'm expecting it to be altered and made to be 'cleaner'. xD
But yeah that's the basic idea. Scoria is doing his half-step towards a 3-d holographic map. The 'feeling like a certain thing' point is because it's an intangible mana construct, so. And of course it'll screw with monster AI if a wall suddenly shows up in front of them, but humans and intelligent AI are a lot smarter. Uuuuh. Not sure what other explanation and clarification I can give, but feel free to inquire if anything's weird~
