Calligrapher's supplies include ink, a variety of papers and parchments, pens and quills, seals and sealing wax, gold and silver leaf, and small tools to sculpt melted wax to into a seal.
Calligraphy treats writing as a delicate, beautiful art. Calligraphers produce text that is pleasing to the eye, using a style that is difficult to forge. Their supplies also give them some ability to examine scripts and determine if they are legitimate, since a calligrapher's training involves long hours of studying writing and attempting to replicate its style and design.
