You become immune to normal cold, and resistant to magical cold.
- Requires: 3oz of high quality indigo ink, 1000gp in powdered sapphire, 2oz of powdered mammoth tusk (may be substituted with an equal amount of white dragon blood, though this may cause your body temperature to drop 10 degrees permanently), and 3oz of powdered snowflake lichen (Magical plant that looks like snow and grows on rocks in cold climates. Warning, causes cold damage when fresh).
- Location: 8 square inches on the chest, below the hollow of your throat
- Warning: Possessing this tattoo causes susceptibility to magical fire. Side effects may also include frosty breath at all times
This is an arcane tattoo. It must be performed by an artificer who is skilled in the art of tattooing. It MUST have all ingredients in the exact amounts specified, and it must be located on a specific part of the body. It is a very painful process, and you must make a CON saving throw (DC is 25 - your character level) or you will suffer 1 point of exhaustion for 23 hours after the tattoo is complete. The effects of the tattoo will not be active until after you have taken a long rest. If you are a creature with excessive amounts of body hair, the hair must be shaved away from the tattoo location, and it will never grow back due to the arcane nature of the tattoo. (The same goes for creatures with scales.) Though the overall design of the tattoo isn't important, it must include the proper runic symbols and cover the required amount of skin in order to be affective. There will be a sparkle to the tattoo, depending on what gem material component was involved in the infusion. All components, of course, will be used in making the tattoo and will thereby be consumed. (Unless the artificer creating the tattoo is a friend, he will likely also need to be compensated for his or her work, and they tend to charge a lot.) Because of the nature of arcane tattoos, you can never have more than two, and never more than one in a specific area of the body.
