It was an interesting experience as I forced the runes to appear on the quill. I was being very careful to duplicate what was on there originally. It was tougher than I imagined. In simple terms, you have a vellum that you transcribe the rune and spell arithmancy before transferring to the object. This was purely me imagining the runes and arithmancy, making them come to life. My memory was extremely helpful in this regard, because I remember where each and every connection went.
