This is actually what I was meaning. Something accessible from the DM
dump command like the field in marking runes that makes the "race" of
the rune equal to the name of the player that created the rune.

Thinking further. Inscribed objects can also be renamed. It may come
about that someone renames a scroll and someone else inscribes it. So
these might need two hidden fields, one for the renaming player and
one for the inscribing player. Or not. Perhaps just the name of the
last player to modify it would be sufficient. Surely someone would
not be stupid enough to write in a scroll that has a rude name and
then drop it where it would be a problem without renaming it. :-)
