The staple stationery brand for designers, Sharpie, has unveiled a new writing instrument that’s hard to define. Pencil? Pen? Either way, this thing is, as Apple’s Jonathan Ive says, “magical”.

The ‘Liquid Pencil’ has a liquid graphite tip—meaning broken leads are a thing of the past—that, when used, can be erased just like a pencil.

But the magical part comes in when, three days after finishing that perfect sketch, the ‘ink’ becomes permanent, like the famed Sharpie markers. We’ve no idea how it works either.
