+====== Arcane Stylus ======
+{{ rpd:images:arcane_stylus_item.png|Arcane Stylus }}
+The Arcane Stylus (formally known as Stylus in the game code) is a magical tool used to inscribe special properties onto armor or transform blank scrolls in Remixed Dungeon.
+==== Properties ====
+  * **Rarity:** Rare
+  * **Weight:** 1
+  * **Durability:** Single use item
+  * **Class Restriction:** Can be used by all hero classes
+  * **Curses:** Cannot be used on cursed items
+==== Function ====
+  * **Inscription:** Allows inscribing random glyphs on armor or transforming blank scrolls into random scrolls
+  * **Random Effects:** The specific glyph or scroll type is randomly determined when used
+  * **Equipment Enhancement:** Improves armor with magical properties
+  * **Target Items:** Can be used on armor and [[en:rpd:blank_scroll_item|Blank Scrolls]]
+  * **Single Action:** Uses the 'Inscribe' action to perform either function
+==== Special Interactions ====
+  * **With Armor:** Adds a random [[en:rpd:glyph|glyph]] to armor (replacing any existing glyph)
+  * **With Blank Scrolls:** Transforms the blank scroll into a random [[en:rpd:scroll|scroll]]
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Best used on high-quality armor to maximize benefit from glyphs
+  * Consider the risks vs. rewards as effects are random - you may get a highly desirable effect or a less useful one
+  * Very valuable for improving defensive equipment with useful glyphs
+  * Can be used to create scrolls when none are available
+  * Most effective when applied to armor to enhance protection
+==== Obtaining ====
+Arcane Styluses can be found:
+  * As rare drops in dungeon levels
+  * In special treasure areas
+  * Potentially for purchase in advanced shops
+  * As rewards for completing challenging tasks
