Would I be correct that this hobby, if it's not just having a nice thing for everyday use, does it eventually lead into: calligraphy, fancy stationary, special vellum papers, custom wax stamp seal kits, grinding your own ink, etc?
It certainly can. I now order inks and paper from various countries, but I have yet to move into wax stamps.
Vell naturally.
Rhodia paper FTW!
Then it might bleed out in mechanical pencils, sketching, drawing, painting, general arts ...
Or just getting your hands on that really really nice colored P200...
I prefer Tomoe River over Rhodia.
