You have learned an ancient technique which involves burning down spell scrolls and preparing the ashes into a poultice. The magical ashes applied to a needle or blade used to tattoo or scar a creature, imbuing them with the ability to cast spells. To do so, you must successfully cast a spell from a scroll. Instead of the spell taking effect, you spend the next hour reducing the scroll to ashes and preparing the mixture. You must spend one hour per level applying it to the creature. This process can be considered light activity during long rest, and you can start and stop as many times as needed to complete it.
Once the tattoo is complete, the bearer can cast the spell once using Constitution as their spellcasting modifier, after which the magic fades
A complete scar or tattoo that has not been activated can be detected as magical through the detect magic spell and similar means, giving off an aura based on the spells school of magic. In addition it can be removed with the dispel magic spell or similar effects.
