This text is a calligraphy guide, said to have been penned by the Immaculate of Air Mela and the Immaculate of Earth Pasiap. The text is thick, for each character of Old Realm syllabary has three pages devoted to it, each page occupied by a single instance of the character. The three versions of the character differ slightly, each demonstrating one of the Three Perfected Styles of Calligraphy: the Five Harmonious Angles Style of Pasiap and the Whirlwind Brush Method & Virtuous Pen Technique of Mela.
The Immaculate Brush is considered amongst the canon of the Immaculate Texts, and is a standard textbook in most primary schools of the Realm, students filling page after page with replications of the characters until their teachers are satisfied they have grasped the ways of the brush. While understanding of Old Realm is required to be able to read the symbols in the text, doing so is entirely unnecessary, the books lessons conveyed by the eye comparing the forms and strokes of the symbols not their meaning.
The origins of the Three Perfected Styles as creations of the Solar Exalted remains unknown to the Dragonblooded who peruse the text.
The book can serve as a training manual for Linguistics, from a minimum 1-dot to a maximum 3-dots, provided the student already has a Lore of at least 1 dot.
