	You can use the {[Papermote command\|PAPERMOTE]] command to set a description on a piece of paper (or parchment, or whatever else) that will show up when it is looked at. This can be used for crumpling up a note and tossing it in the mud, or for folding paper animals, or for making note of certain stains on the pages. This can be done for the object as a whole only. If you'd like to specify effects for specific paragraphs or pages, you can include that in the writing.
