I'm torn between level one and two for this. Compare to Scrivener's Chant, a cantrip.
Essentially, this is justification for ignoring spell copying time, which many tables seem to handwave.
Apprentice Transcription
School Transmutation
Level Alchemist 1, Magus 1, Wizard 1
Casting Time 10 minutes
Components V, S, F
Range touch
Target a single writing instrument
Duration Concentration, plus up to 1 minute/level (one hour max)
Saving Throw no
Spell Resistance no
DESCRIPTION
By casting Apprentice Transcription, an arcane caster imbues a pen, stylus, or other writing instrument with her knowledge and skill, allowing it to copy magical writings for as long as she maintains her concentration on the work, which includes providing new pages to write upon. When the pen finishes a spell the caster may select a new spell for the pen to begin. These copies take one minute per spell level to complete. When the caster stops concentrating the pen will continue writing the spell currently in process, but will not begin a new spell.
Apprentice Transcription follows all normal rules for copying spells (book fees, special inks and their cost, et cetera). If supplies run out, the spell abruptly ends.
