Allography: Describe Anything

Description
Adds the Allograph book artifact, which's similar in function to the Box of Crayons, allowing you to write a new description for anything in sight, including yourself.

Writing takes some time (5-50 rounds) based on the length of the description and your intelligence. If a bear slugs your bog-hole, won't be much writing getting done.


Acquisition
The book'll spawn randomly together with other books. Or just wish for 'allograph'.

Usage
Activate the allograph in your inventory, select 'write'. Select the object you wish to redescribe, then get to writing.
With the Overlay UI you can copy/paste text to and from an external text editor, the in-game window doesn't wrap the text.

Color codes for text're here[wiki.cavesofqud.com].

Following's a table of some of the more useful text replacers that can be used in the description.

@: Can be targeted on player instead: =player.personTerm=.
P: Takes a parameter indicated by the asterisk: =verb:peer= -> peer/peers.
C: Can be capitalised: =pronouns.Subjective= -> He/She/It.

When I wish for "allograph" I just get a randomly generated book. No "write" option shows up when selecting it in my inventory as it doesn't seem to recognize the mod. Any help would be appreciated, I'd really like to use this mod!

Touched it up for 1.0, it should work now.
You'll also be able to turn extra allographs in to Sheba soon, probably next week when the game patches.

Will this be updated for 1.0?

Redundantly and pointlessly informing you that this is definitely still broken.

Hope this gets fixed soon.
