Item: Wands of Piracy (set of 4); when tapped on a scroll, book, VHS tape, ZIP disk, or any other non-magical storage media, it copies all the information contained within it; once loaded with information, it may be tapped on blank media to fill it with that information. The media need not be the same format. A few possible uses
- Make copies of a scroll to distribute to a wider audience
- Art forgery
- Convert your dad’s old 8-tracks onto CDs
- Extract data from damaged storage media onto paper
- Transfer music into a book to get the sheet music
- Transfer the text of a book onto a CD to create an audiobook
Some transformations don’t work: copying video onto paper would create a list of every frame of the video, scaled to fit them all on the available media; taking a painting and putting it onto audio media just makes noise. (Of course, you could do this to disguise it for transportation, then move it back onto canvas once you’ve gotten where you’re going.)
