With this tattoo, you are enabled to cast Light, as if you were an arcane caster with levels equal to your position in life.
- Requires: 3oz in high quality indigo ink, 1oz of powdered fireflies, 500gp in powdered sapphire, and 1oz of powdered glowvine (grows in deep caverns).
- Location: on the palm of the hand you intend to use to cast this spell
- Warning: this tattoo will glow in the dark at all times, not bright enough to give off any illumination, but enough that it can be seen in darkness from up to 100 feet away.
This DOES NOT grant you the ability to cast spells in order to qualify for other feats or magical items. Unlike the actual spell, there are no components to the casting of this spell. Instead, using the hand that the tattoo is on, you draw a glowing glyph in the air in front of you to cast the spell. To cast the spell, the hand you are using MUST be empty.
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.) The design of this tattoo is a simple glyph depicting the arcane symbol for "light." 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.
