You gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed. However, you can only remain in flight for a period of time equal to 1 plus your CON modifier in minutes. (If your CON mod is 0, or negative, you are only able to remain aloft for one minute.) You must then remain on the ground for 30 minutes before you are able to fly again. When you are flying, spectral wings that glow in the dark are visible on your back. WARNING: If you are still aloft when you grow weary and lose the ability to remain in flight, your wings will fade and you will begin to fall, unless you have other means to prevent this. ALSO: Wearing heavy armor, or encumbered in a similar way, may effect the time you are able to remain in flight.
- Requires: 8oz of high quality indigo ink, 4oz powdered wings of the blossom moth (a large, luminescent moth that is found in deep caves), 600gp of powdered sapphire, and 2oz of powdered leaves of the Summer Court Trillium. (This beautiful flowering plant grows in abundance where the veil to the fey wild is thin. Remember, you want powdered leaves. DO NOT use powdered flowers, as this will cause quite a different effect that varies from person to person.)
- Location: 2 tattoos, 6 square inches each, one on each shoulder blade. Must be in the shape of wings, which determines the shape which your spectral wings will take. (NOTE: You may also choose to create 4 tattoos, 3 square inches each, two at the top of your shoulder blades and two 4 inches lower. This will create four wings in a dragonfly formation. This will have no affect upon the abilities gained with this tattoo.)
- Warning: This arcane tattoo has been known to result in giddy, and sometimes chaotic, emotional swings.
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 particular tattoo must be in the shape of wings, and 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, they 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.
