The Inked

You have made your pact with a mysterious entity made of magic and ink. A force that manifest itself as a sentient piece of art engraved on one's skin. Once freed from the needle and applied to the skin the inked grants spells and powers to its bearer in the form of magical tattoos.

Blending magic and artistry with ink and needles, magic tattoos imbue their bearers with wondrous effects and abilities. Magic tattoos are initially bound to magic needles, which transfer their magic to a creature. The designs of magic tattoos vary greatly in appearance depending on who created it, but they share general characteristics that hint at the effect of the tattoo. Once inscribed on a creature’s skin, damage or injury doesn’t impair the tattoo’s function, even if the tattoo is defaced. The rarer a magic tattoo is, the more space it occupies on a creature’s skin.

The Inker's Tool

At 1st level, your patron gifts you a magical needle, the perfect inker's tool. The needle is a Tiny object, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. As a bonus action, you can alter the needle's shape, transforming it into a rapier or back to normal. You are proficient with this weapon. When you attack with it in it's weapon shape, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, the needle can be used as your Pact weapon.

At 5th level, once per turn, when you use the needle as a spellcasting focus to cast a spell and it's in its weapon form, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with it.

Engraved Magic

At 1st level, you can choose a tattoo of common rarity from the Magic Tattoos list and apply it to your body. At 3rd level, you can also choose a tattoo of uncommon rarity and apply it to your body. Applying those tattoos takes a short rest. You can change your tattoos once every long rest.

Imbued Ink

When using a tattoo ability requiring a DC, the caster's DC is used instead of the tattoo's

Spellwrought Tattoo

Starting at 6th level, once every long rest, you can tattoo yourself or another willing person.

This tattoo contains a single spell from your known spells, wrought on your, or someone else's skin by your magic needle. To use the tattoo, you must hold the needle against the skin where you want the tattoo to appear and speak the command word. From the needle flows the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin. Once the tattoo is on the skin, the person on whom it is can cast its spell, requiring no material components. The tattoo glows faintly while the spell is cast and for the spell’s duration. Once the spell ends, the tattoo vanishes.

Only one tattoo can be made in this way at a time. If a new one is made and the last one wasn't used, it vanishes. At higher level, the number of tattoos you can maintain at the same time grows. It becomes 2 at 10th level and 3 at 14th level.
