[Dane Regan]

Raf, if you really want to make copies of books, just steal this fodder move (costs 0 OM) I made for Dane (although it's a magic spell, so you might want to rewrite it to be more tech-like, maybe). Although it doesn't make the blank books for you, so you'd need to get those some other way (maybe just bring them along with you).

Dane's Cantrips

Being knowledgeable in magic comes with many small tricks, known as cantrips (i.e. rp fodder). Often solely used as practice spells for young students, some do have small practical uses - or are just merely fun to use. All of these cantrips have the following key distinguishable features:

• [spoiler]
  
• Can be cast quickly (i.e. in the time it takes to clap or click your fingers). Some motion is required and always has to be a noise producing gesture. Such as a stomp, or jingling a bell.
  
• They won't directly hurt anyone. Not even the slightest tingle.
  
• Any lingering effects disappear after five minutes unless concentration is maintained (which can be done indefinitely while conscious). Only one cantrip can be concentrated on at once and moves cannot be used in parallel to this (so usually it's easier just to recast every five minutes).
  
• The use of multiple cantrips can overlap if focus isn't required.
  
• Cannot be used while taking damage.[/spoiler]
  

Copy:
[spoiler]Can copy the contents of one book into a blank book of the same size or larger, or just a selection of pages as long as the equivalent amount of blank paper is available. This takes 1 minute per 20k words, so about 1 A5 page can be done in about a second. A simple diagram the size of an A5 page takes about a second to replicate. A more detailed photo or painting of the same size can take about half a minute. As a rule of thumb, most books can be completely copied within 5 to 10 minutes. This requires constant focus. Both the original book and empty book need to be open in front of the caster (within 3ft/1m) when the spell is cast. Each book will automatically flip pages as required. To an outsider, it looks like the letters are being drawn on the page quickly by an invisible pen or pencil.[/spoiler]
