What if some group of modern people (Hmm... Would anyone who have ever read Livius and/or Julius Frontinus for purely recreational reason be large enough group? Translations and excrepts longer than two paragraphs do count, reading specifically to get this power does not) gets the following power:
They can conjure any object consisting more than 70% of plant matter (plastic counts) or animal matter (wax does too) or clay and weighing no more than 20 kg, and which has even a single word in any language inscribed on it (no knowledge of what is written or even of that language required, in fact only vague description like "letter by such and such mentioning this-and-that" is needed.) Object has to be manufactured before that person is born. Analysis will show that conjured object isn't really authentic, but recent forgery, and people who don't have that power would invent Sunnidale-like excuses to deny texts veracity/that anything unusual happens. Convincing someone that texts are indeed authentic grants them the same power. (As does reading.)
Ok, what happens next?
