This spell allows you to inscribe your personal rune or mark, which can consist of no more than six characters. The writing can be visible or invisible. An arcane mark spell enables you to etch the rune upon any substance without harm to the material upon which it is placed. If an invisible mark is made, a detect magic spell causes it to glow and be visible, though not necessarily understandable.
* - (magic infused ink, or charcoal from a deadwood tree.)

Posted Feb 27, 2021Can someone provide me some examples of the purpose of using this cantrip? The only thing I can think of is if your party members know you have this ability and they are trying to find/follow you (e.g., you disappear, are kidnapped, went ahead of them, etc.), but I wanted to see what others thought since I'm a newer player.

Posted Jun 7, 2021Visible Mark: Autographs, label what is yours, instant contract signing, basically this spell is writing your name down as an Action.
Invisible: Mark one of many seemingly identical items to tell it apart from the rest later, mark something to later prove it the same item when later stolen and claimed a different item by thief, mark multiple of a very common and very standardized item and pass them out as a sort of "if I ever seem to doubt you are you, then hand me this, if you need a courier to tell me something I'll likely disbelieve you had sent them to say send this with them".

Posted Dec 31, 2025If you want to leave a message in a pre -coordinated point, like 'hey we went that way' . It might take a few casts to write the full thing, but it's useful.
