No, a “real mage” embroidered it, implying that it actually wasn’t Rav.
I’m not quite clear on how the “written” power of magic works. Do the words disappear when you use them? Or the medium they’re written on? That would make Rav’s shirt and scarf limited-use items, I guess. Adds to the investment he made to get the gang out of trouble back at the church.
And to increase the power of magic writing you write more. So, like, more copies of the same spell? Or do you go over the letters multiple times to make them really thick? Lots to learn!
Interesting. I suppose there’d have to be a catch though, right? Otherwise mages wouldn’t even need to cast spells, they could simply embroider items with the spells and they could be cast from that forever. They’re either one-use or their effect is limited. It must also be difficult to do, or otherwise I’d imagine everyone would have clothes like this. Perhaps it’s heavily frowned upon by the mage guilds, and therefore you don’t see it often for this reason alone.

Based on the way Ivan explained it earlier, writing down a spell allows it to be charged with magical power over time. Casting said pre-charged spells seems to drain the magic, but not destroy the item itself (otherwise Ivan’s spell book would have love since vanished), and it will eventually recharge itself over time if left in close enough proximity to a mage.
As for Rav’s shirt, maybe Rav has enough magical power to charge magical items but not enough to actually channel spells on his own.

Apparently Rav can embroider.

Also, a mandatory “Do or do not. There is no try.”

Those who guessed that he's not actually a mage, but did, indeed, mention having magic gadgets: ding ding ding! You were correct.
