Upon command, the quill starts to write, creating two identical spells on the scroll instead of the single original. If the scroll [which was burned] contains two or more spells, only one spell is copied-either the lowest level spell or [if there was more than one spell of the same lowerl level ] a randomly selected spell. The quill cannot copy protection scrolls or any other writing except spell scrolls.Unfortunately, there is a 25% chance chance per use that the quill suddenly drains of ink, spoiling the entire scroll upon which it is writing. The blot thus created cannot be removed from the parchment by any means but a wish.D&D Rule Cyclopedia.  XP Value, 5,000  GP Value 25,000Apart from varying the cost of the Quill of Copying, I do not see much reason the Quill cannot be used, as is, in 3/3.5e</blockquote>
