magic marker

Permanent ink stick

Magic Marker is a brand name for felt-tip pens with permanent ink, now used generically for any broad-tipped permanent marker.

The ink bleeds through paper and resists washing off most surfaces: Someone drew on the wall with magic marker.

Usually lowercase when generic.
