Scribeler

A Scribeler is a box containing a small creature or device cable of making transcripts of a conversation, quickly copying a document, or drawing a scene. Most contain an Arcon or Shade but those of less religious typically use a Greenling or possibly a Gremlin. Some Necromancers are known to use a spirit or bones of a small humanoid while there are others that contain magical creatures from Araby or mechanical instruments from beyond the wastes.

By there nature, Scribelers are good information stores and can also solve complex sums or logic puzzles. However they are generally unable to understand human society and as such not very good at finding stuff out on their own.
