    Permanent.

    Pewter, flat, the length of a forearm, lined with grey felt and smelling of oak gall and cold iron.

    Effect

    Writing that has been scraped, overwritten, inked out, torn up, or burned comes back. Put the page, the scrapings, or the ash inside and shut the lid; by morning the original stands whole in the original hand, on new paper. One night's work at a time, up to 200 pages, and nothing destroyed more than a hundred years ago - the lid will not lift again until dawn once it is shut on a restoration. Restores the words only, never any magic the document carried. Anything else left inside stays dry and unfaded for ever.
