Parchment of Looping (Magic Parchment)

This parchment is found in its own special box, by itself. The box is 8 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 2 inches deep; two knobs are located at each end of one side. The box and knobs are made of fine mahogany wood. The box has a 6- inch square hole in its top. The parchment can be seen and written upon through this hole. Turning the top knob winds the parchment toward the top, and is done when the available surface has been written upon; the lower knob rewinds the parchment. The parchment may be easily rewound to its starting point but, being magical, it has no other end. Unmarked, usable parchment is always available. The lid of the box may be loosened by a command word. If the lid is lifted off, the user finds one wide strip of parchment, 30 inches long, wound about two rollers, with a twist in it (a mobius strip). Opening the box erases the entire parchment. If replaced in the box and locked by another command word, the parchment may be again used magically.
Seven 1st-level spells may be written on the parchment (as if a scroll); higher-level spells burn out the parchment, destroying it, as does an eighth 1st-level spell. The parchment and the box are immune to all attacks except fire, both are destroyed at the slightest touch of normal or magical flame.
