Like many of you, I've been re-reading the books and started
wondering about the blood-letting quill of Dolores Umbridge.

The main thought I have is that it may have been the tool by
which the dark mark tattoos were created.

Jo wrotes:

That is a good idea, but that means each person would have had
to draw the mark loads of times again and again, drawing their
blood, to then have the image etched on their arms like Harry
had the words etched onto the back of his hand.

Also, I wonder how this would link them to Voldemort (probably a
dark spell we just don't know about yet)?

It does seem to be rather a dark object though and one she probably
shouldn't have been using (she had probably picked it up at the
Ministry, from the items confiscated from dark wizards).

I hope that if Umbridge makes a reappearance in book 7, she has
the quill with her and she is involved in using it on herself
somehow, so she can get a taste for the torture she put Harry
through!
