The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is distinguished from earlier dip pens by using an internal reservoir to hold ink, eliminating the need to repeatedly dip the pen in an inkwell during use.
- The pen draws ink from the reservoir through a feed to the nib and deposits the ink on paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action.
- Filling the reservoir with ink may be achieved manually, via the use of an eyedropper or syringe, or via an internal filling mechanism that creates suction or a vacuum to transfer ink directly through the nib into the reservoir.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fountain pen article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
