Uncommon Bookmark

Bookmarks in the Infinite Archives are often magically created in pairs. The owner of one bookmark can write a short message on the blank leather body and it will magically appear on its corresponding bookmark.

A finely crafted, leather bookmark with filigreed decorative edges. A broad blank space takes up the majority of the face. Librarians and other Archive employees will regularly share bookmark pairs to communicate.
