A Compendium of Magical Tattoos v1.0

# Magical Tattoos: A Retailoring v1.0
Magical tattoos are a rare and special
form of controlling the weave. It binds
the folding of the Weave's energies into
the skin of the tattooed for a limited
time. The power and rarity of the magic
and the will of the recipient will
determine how much of the Weave can
be bound to flesh.

Magical Tattoos are a temporary connection to the Weave
for any person who can with stand the binding, and not
everyone can. There are those who seek out the power of
these tattoos, undergo the process, and whether it’s from
poor materials, rushed work or an unskilled artist the tattoo process fails catastrophically and what was meant to
enhance will harm or even curse depending on the power
that was sought after.
If the tattoo is inked by a master artist using an ink crafted from the finest possible ingredients, the binding to the Weave can be more powerful than anticipated.
In the end, each tattoo is different depending on a variety of factors: the size of the tattoo, the rarity of ingredients for the
ink, level of the spell or effect attempting to be bound, and the will of the recipient. And, no matter what the tattoo, it will doubtless grant a great advantage to the bearer.

### A New Tool Proficiency
In order to create a tattoo, mundane or magical, one must have proficiency in *Tattooist's Tools*, which is a type of *Artisan's Tools*. To ink a magical tattoo, one must have at least 1 level in a spellcasting class and have proficiency with these tools. In order to gain proficiency in *Tattooist's Tools*, you may either practice with it long enough to gain proficiency, or gain it from the following Backgrounds.

- **Criminal:** You may choose to forgo your proficiency in either one type of gaming set or *Thieves' Tools*, choosing instead to be proficient with *Tattooist's Tools*.
- **Guild Artisan:** You may choose *Tattooist's Tools* as your one artisan tool proficiency.
- **Sage:** You may choose to forgo one of your additional language proficiencies, choosing instead to be proficient with *Tattooist's Tools*.
- **Sailor:** You may choose to forgo your proficiency with *Navigator's Tools*, choosing instead to be proficient with *Tattooist's Tools*.

Additionally, your DM may choose to award your proficiency with these tools for some other reason, which remains up to your discretion.

### Tattooist's Tools
This kit comes in a sturdy briefcase of some description and contains a variety of various colored inks, needles, and medical supplies needed for sterilization. The kit may also include a sketchbook filled with original tattoo designs, or magical templates that the artist may find on their journeys.

*Tattooist's Tools* are needed to create any tattoos, whether they have magical properties or not. Each set initially contains a variety of ink colors, but does not include any specialty inks from the *specialty inks* table.

As you create tattoos, you will use up the supplies in your tool kit, which will need to be replaced every so often. Every small tattoo takes 1 ounce of ink to make. Medium tattoos take 2 ounces and large tattoos take 4 ounces.

Each color of inks costs more or less depending on the dye used to make the color. Purple, for example, is the most expensive color as minerals and plants the produce appropriately colored dyes are harder to find and acquire than other dyes.

### Prerequisites for Tattoo Artists
In order to apply tattoos, magical or non-magical, the artist must first be proficient in tattooist’s tools. Non-magical tattoos require only time and imagination to apply a design of the wearer’s desire.

To apply magical tattoos, the artist must also be proficient in Arcana. Magical tattoos comprise of three components: a
runic design to specify the magical effects of the tattoo, a
connection to the Weave such as a spell slot, and the life force of the wearer to power the magic of the tattoo. The size and
the intricacy of the tattoo design generally dictates the
required proficiency and level of spell slot needed to apply the tattoo.
Proficient artists are skilled enough to apply tattoos of
Simple or Average intricacies, while Expert artists have
mastered the most intricate Ornate designs.

### Prerequisites for the Wearer
In order to apply a tattoo, there must first be room to draw it into the skin. Every tattoo has a size and location. The size of the tattoo scales with the size of the creature.

If your DM allows, tails and wings may also be tattooed, given that they are not covered in feather, fur, or scales and are a sufficient size.

##### Available Space
| Body Part | Number of Tattoos |
|-----------|-----------|
|Head | 1 Medium, 2 Small
|Chest| 1 Large, 2 Medium, 1 Medium and 2 Small, 4 Small
|Back | 1 Large, 2 Medium, 1 Medium and 2 Small, 4 Small
|Arm or Wing| 1 Medium and 1 Small, 3 Small
|Leg or Tail| 1 Medium and 1 Small, 3 Small

Secondly, If the the tattoo is magical, know that only so much magic can be bound to the flesh. Each new bridge to the weave pushes the physical limits of the body beyond where they were intended to go. By the third tattoo, the magic begins to take a more serious toll on the body, and a Con DC needs to be made for each new tattoo. Failure means the body could not be adhere to the magic. Unfortunately, all the materials and costs are lost in the failed attempt. After the failed attempt, the subject has reached the limitations of their flesh to hold the magic of the tattoos, and can only accept nonmagical tattoos.

| # of Tattoos | Con DC
|:-:|-|
|1-2| DC 0
|3| DC 10
|4| DC 15
|5| DC 20
|+1| DC +5

## Tattooing Process
The requirements for each tattoo are different, but the
general rule is that larger and more intricate tattoos require more time and ink to apply. Magical tattoos also require spell slots appropriate to the abilities accorded by the tattoo.

### Applying Non-Magical Tattoos
The artist need not succeed on checks with tattooist’s tools, only spend the requisite amount of time according to the size and intricacy of the tattoo design.

### Applying Magical Tattoos
<br>

|Crafting Success = 1d20 + proficiency with *tattooist's tools* + spellcasting ability modifier|
|:-:|

In order to apply a tattoo, the artist must succeed on checks with tattooist's tools. The secondary skill used is the artist’s spellcasting ability, as magical tattoos must be imbued with spell slots. If the crafting extends over several sessions, a separate roll must be made each time and a new spell slot imbued into the tattoo.
<br>
<br>

The artist’s spellcasting ability can be any one of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, using their knowledge, divine guidance, or sheer force of will to guide the application of the magic to the tattoo, but this must align with the artist’s spellcasting class. For example, a particularly dashing rogue may not apply their Charisma modifier to this check. 
<br>
<br>

The size and intricacy of the tattoo dictates the time taken for application as well as the level of spell slot needed to imbue into the tattoo. For every session of the crafting process, a spell slot of the appropriate level must be imbued into the tattoo. Spell slots need not necessarily come from the artist themselves, but may be contributed by an assistant or even the wearer. 
The source of the spell slots must be present for
the entire duration of the application process.
<br>
<br>

If the artist fails this rool and the tattoo was intended to be magical, the tattoo holds no magical properties but still takes up space on the creature's body. Based on how severly the artist fails, the tattoo can be anything from minorly flawed (1-3 points under target) to a horrible mess (10-20 points under target or a natural 1). Rolling a 20 always results in a success, with the tattoo being a perfect and awe-inspiring display of artistic skill.

If the artist fails to successfully apply the tattoo, the tattoo holds no magical properties but still takes up space. It must be removed if another tattoo is to be applied in that location. The time taken to remove the tattoo is equal to the time taken to apply the tattoo. The cost of failure is dependent on how much progress has been made.

|Failure cost = Production cost × [completed hours/ required hours]|
|:-:|

Crafting activities may be pursued for eight hours a day. The artist is required to make an exhaustion save for every
subsequent hour after this.

| Exhaustion Save DC = 10 + [1 for every subsequent hour after 8 hours]|
|:-:|

### Tattoo Application
Tattoos take time to apply based on their size and intricacy. A large but simple take the same amount of time to ink as it would to create a small but detailed one. Sessions may be broken into chunks over the course of several days, however if the tattoo is not finished within 30 days the magics within the tattoo disappate and must be started again from the beginning. Some tattoo mages will demand full payment upfront, while others will charge a part of the price across each individual session. After the tattoo is finished, you gain the effects of it after a long rest. Use the following table to determine how long the procedure will take.

<div class='footnote'> Application | Magical Tattoos</div>

\pagebreakNum

### The Risk of Disease
*Tattooist’s tools* must be cleaned after each session in
order to maintain their sterility. *Medical supplies* (see
**Available Materials**) have 10 uses, and each use cleans the tattooist’s tools by one level, e.g. contaminated tools become clean tools. For every session that the tattooist’s tools are not cleaned, they progress down the scale of cleanliness.
<br>
<br>

Even with sterile tools, there is still a slight chance of
picking up a disease from being tattooed. The creature
receiving a tattoo must make a Constitution save, the DC of
which depends on how sanitary the procedure was.

##### Cleanliness of tools
|Cleanliness | DC
|-|-|
|Sterile | 5
|Clean, but not sterilised | 10
|Contaminated | 15
|Very contaminated | 20
|Actively unsanitary | 25
If a disease is contracted, the DM decides what disease it
is, either by selecting one from Dungeon Master's Guide,
p.256-257 or by making one up. Once the tattoo is applied
successfully, the tattooed creature may utilise the effects of their new tattoo after their next Long Rest.

### Permanence
The properties of magical tattoos permeate deep within the muscles and sinew of the body, and are in most sense permanent. Very few have ever been reported as having lost their magical properties, even if the tattoo is no longer visible on the skin. Incredibly deep burns or loss of limb remove the magically enchanted parts, removing the tattoos effects, and possibly allowing for another tattoo to be acquired.

Limbs regrown with *regenerate* do not grow back their tattoos. Spells such as *Raise Dead* generally keep tattoos intact, given that the limb is still present. *Reincarnation* will not bring back the subjects with their tattoos intact. Clones made with the *clone* spell do not have tattoos. *Simulacrum*, however can copy the properties of the originals tattoos, as long as the required ingredients for the tattoos are placed near each tattooed area.

### The use of Shifting Ink
Shifting ink is the rarest of all tattoo inks as it allows Artists to sidestep some of the limitations of the flesh, by allowing two tattoos to exists within the same area, while only expressing one at a time. (see **Available Materials**). In order for this ink to display its true power, the area to be tattooed must first be prepared with *shifting ink*. This process requires the same amount of ink as the larger of the two tattoos to be applied. During the application of the first tattoo, the *shifting ink* reacts with it and it absorbs into the wearer’s skin. The second tattoo may be applied over this. Once this is done, the wearer may choose which tattoo to manifest once per short rest. 
<br>
<br>

The time taken to prepare the area with *shifting ink* is equal to that of the larger tattoo, but there is no associated DC. The tattoos must be applied within three days of the application of the *shifting ink*, before it loses its potency and binds with only the first tattoo. Artists sometimes risk exhausting themselves trying to complete their work before the *shifting ink* sets.

### Additonal Information.
Magical tattoos as well as non-magical tattoos should be recorded for future reference in order to quickly check whether a character has room for a new tattoo.

Unless specifically noted under the tattoo's description, a given tattoo can only be taken once. Any additonal applications of the same tattoo will not apply any magical effects.

Magical tattoos radiate magic dimly under a *detect magic* spell. A successful DC 20 Arcana check may be made in order to discern the nature of a magical tattoo. If the person trying to identify the tattoo is proficient with *Tattooist's Tools*, they gain a +2 bonus to identification.
*Dispel Magic* will render magical tattoos useless for 1d4 rounds.

Tattoo bonuses of the same kind do not stack. Tattoos that
grant a +1 bonus to Wisdom and +2 bonus to Wisdom will
only grant a +2 bonus to Wisdom.

# The Tattoo Artist
It takes a considerable amount of skill and intellect to bind the Weave into flesh. Of the few that start that path of magical understanding, very few ever make it past the ability to understand how to bind higher level magic to flesh, and of those even fewer still reach the mastery of the skill to attempt the highest levels of magical binding. The skill and research involved in the art leaves very little time for adventuring. They prefer to solicit adventures to procure the rare and hard to obtain resources than venture out themselves.

As such, these tattoo shops make a great source of income
for the daring adventurer who has been fortunate enough to
find one. Magical Tattoo shops are not uncommon at the
lower levels of magic, often being found in large cities where magic is abundant and the norm. The magical districts of Districts and areas of arcane studies are a safe place to start one’s search. Though these tattoo shops rarely have an artist capable of binding more than rare magic.

The shop of a master tattooing wizard on the other hand, is
so rare and hard to find, it is a quest in-and-of-itself to locate one. These rare masters tend to only work with very rare magics, constantly seeking to push their understanding further. They will send out their apprentices to located the strongest adventurers, and offer their services in the hope to learn how to bind legendary levels of magics to flesh.

The tattoo artist makes is tattooing DC check based on her
level of mastery. Below is the recommended shop and artist
skill level and its scarcity. A master has a bonus total of 12, making lower level tattoo spells mundane and boring for
them to work. They hungrily seek out the challenged that
comes with legendary magic, but disdain the annoyance of
dealing with less powerful adventurers asking for simple
things.

##### Artist Mastery/Shop Scarcity

| Skill level | Prof. bonus | Int Mod | Difficulty locating
|-|-|-|-|
|Novice |+2 |+3 |Easy
|Skilled |+3 |+3 |Some effort
|Advanced |+4 |+4 |Hard to find*
|Expert |+5 |+5 |Extremly difficult**
|Master |+6 |+6 |By quest only***

*Only about a quarter of those who study the art of magical
tattoos become advanced enough to bind rare magic to flesh.
They tend to have shops open in all cities where magic is
available and practiced openly. The artists there are eager to push themselves and welcome customers readily.

**One tenth of those who achieve advanced in their skill are
able to break through the secrets of the arcane enough to
formulate and control the very rare magic in these inks.
Hearsay and rumors will lead you here possibly from stories
in taverns or even a minor quest that leads to this artist's
shop.

***Only 1 percent of experts ever achieve the rank of
Master. There is little to no chance of stumbling across a
master artist. Chances are if you do, he meant for you to find him. Perhaps his apprentice, and expert level artist sent word to him, or through a network of eyes in the various cities, your power drew his attention upon you.

### Optional Rule of Infection
Not every tattoo artist is equal, and the practices of a younger Novice compared to those of an extraordinary Master are as vastly different as a celestial is to a Devil.

From how the ink is prepared to the cleanliness of the shop
you find them in.

Some ink recipes will require you to work with infectious
and diseased materials that if not prepared correctly, can
leave you with more than just magic coursing through an
adventures blood. And with the magical nature of the
ingredients, a quick trip to the local cleric might not fix them up as fast.

##### Chance of infection

| Skill level | % chance of infection|
|-|-|
|Novice| 20
|Skilled| 15
|Advanced| 10
|Expert| 5
|Master| 0
If an infection occurs, the recipient receives 1d6 levels of
exhaustion minus the proficiency bonus of the tattoo artist.

## The Artist's Sketchbook
When an artist first gains proficiency with tattooist’s tools, their teacher gives them a sketchbook containing designs for a number of Simple or Average tattoos equal to 5 + their Intelligence modifier.
The sketchbook is a unique compilation of designs, with its
own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a
plain, functional leather volume that they received as a gift from their teacher, a finely bound gilt-edged tome they found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after they lost their previous sketchbook in a mishap.

### Discovering new templates
Most examples of tattoo templates are exceedingly rare
and either well-hidden or carefully guarded, as existing
tattoos are either culturally significant or highly prized by its current owners. In rare cases, ancient tattoo templates may be found in such areas as ancient temple walls or found carved into totems. The most common way to learn a new template is to copy it from a tattooed person. Copying the design of a tattoo from another body requires the tattooist make an Intelligence check. The DC is determined by the condition of the body:
##### Copying Check
|Condition of Subject| DC
|-|-|
|Living, willing or unconscious| 5
|Dead, for less than a week| 10
|Living, unwilling or restrained| 15
|Dead, for one week or more| 20
|Dead, tattoo design is not intact| 25
The size and intricacy of tattoos will determine the amount
of resources needed to copy the tattoo. An artist will need to spend 2 hours and 50 gp to copy a design into their
sketchbook. This amount increases by 2 hours and gp for
each size and intricacy level, to a maximum of 10 hours and
250 gp for a Large Ornate tattoo. Artists may be involved in the creation of a template, in that case refer to the DM advice for creation section for creation rules.

### Copying your sketchbook
Artists can copy a design from their own sketchbook into
another book – for example, if they want to make a backup
copy of their sketchbook. This is just like copying a new
template, but faster and easier, since they understand their
own notation and already know how to apply the tattoo. They
need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each size and intricacy
level of the tattoo. If the sketchbook is lost, they can use the
same procedure to transcribe the designs that they can
remember (an amount equal to their Intelligence (History)
modifier, minimum of 0) into a new sketchbook. Filling out
the remainder of the sketchbook requires them to find new
templates to copy, as normal. For this reason, many artists
keep backup sketchbooks in a safe place.

### Description
**Bestial ink:** This ink serves as an addition to tattoos containing animals, as a small illusory spell contained within allows for the affected areas in the tattoo to feel like fur, feathers, scales, etc.

**Detection ink:** This  Ink is specially mixed and imbued with the ability to detect the presence of certain creatures. The ink may come in a variety of colors, and begins to faintly glow when within 100 feet of the creature in question. For example, an ink may be mixed in order to detect members of the goblinoid family, in which case it would be referred as ink of *goblinkind detection*.

**Elemental ink:** This ink is purely cosmetic in most circumstances, coming in a variety of elemental styles. Some may make the lines of a tattoo appear to burn like molten lava, while others may cause it to appear as if they were filled with glimmering gemstones. While this is normally cosmetic, if the appropriate elemental ink is aligned with a specific tattoo, it may amplify the effects of such a tattoo. For example, a *Fist of the elements* would become stronger if drawn using elemental aligned ink.

**Full ink set:** Two 1 oz bottles of the following colours - purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, black, and white.

**Glamour ink:** This ink causes lines drawn with it to glitter like a thousand stars. These inks come in a variety of colours.

**Glow ink:** Tattoos inked with this concoction are pale
versions of their colours while in the light, but in dim or dark conditions glow vibrantly with their appropriate 
colour.

**Medical supplies:** A kit for cleaning tattooist’s tools. Each kit can sterilise tattooist’s tools 10 times.

**Metallic ink:** Tattoos made with this ink make it appear as though the subject has organically-flexible metal inlays
embedded in their skin. These inks come in a variety of
colours, from gold and silver to rusty iron.

**Mood ink:** Appears as plain grey ink, but once applied this ink changes colour depending on the wearer’s feelings.

**Prismatic ink:** Appearing to be a swirling mass of rainbow colours while in a bottle, this ink causes lines tattooed with it to become beautiful and iridescent in appearance.

**Sketchbook:** A book containing sketches of all the artist’s known tattoo designs. Has 50 blank pages.

**Shifting ink:** One of the rarest and most prized inks
among artists, shifting ink allows the subject possessing the tattoo to switch between two different tattoos. Artists will often take this ink whenever they can find it, regardless of whatever colour they happen to find it in.

In order for this ink to display its true power, they must first have one tattoo made with *shifting ink*. Then, they must use the ink's power to shift the ink through the their skin, leaving the spot bare once more. A second tattoo is then made in the same spot and of the same size. Once this is done the subject has the ability to switch between two different tattoos every *short rest* and therefore change their given magical effects. The tattoos created from *shifting ink* are counted as one tattoo, and only one magical tattoo limit check is needed.

**Tattooist’s tools:** This kit comes in a sturdy leather case and contains needles and sketchbook of known tattoos. The needles are imbued with Ethereal magic that allows them to penetrate any and all types of skin, scales, fur, feathers, shells, and carapaces.

**Temporary ink:** This ink appears as normal black ink, only it is applied on top of the skin with a thin brush. Tattoos made with this ink last up to one week or until they are washed away with water.

**Three dimensional ink:** This ink comes in the smame
standard variety of colors as normal ink. When applied to a subject the ink appears normal. However, the one who wears a tattoo made with this ink may take one *bonus action in order to create a stunning cosmetic effect in which the design of the tattoo appears to float off of their skin and hover above it. While this effect is active the tattoo may also animate slightly, spinning or curling around the body part on which it is printed.

## Ink Production

Inks are typically made by mixing natural dyes or pigments from plants or insects together with a base made of hide glue or gum arabic. The ingredients used are easily found in nature, and artists will often take note of locations of berry bushes or a colony of prismatic beetles, where they may find their next source of colour.

Specialty inks may also carry unique properties, reacting to the presence of certain creatures or imbuing the inks with the force of the elements. Given the special nature of the materials, these inks usually take longer to make, and their ingredients are more
difficult to find.

The table details some common ink ingredients, and may vary according to your DM’s world.

##### Ink Ingredients
| Ink | Price/oz | Source | DC to Rush |
|:---:|:-----------:|:----:|:---:|

### Ink making process
The production of ink takes two hours per 1 oz bottle,
including preparing the raw materials, extracting the
pigment, and combining it with the base. An artist may make 30 gp worth of inks a day. This method of production has no associated costs other than time and the required
components.

|Crafting success = 1d20 + Dexterity modifier|
|:-:|

Rushing the production of ink requires a little more skill. The costs of production are half the market price of the ink and half an hour per 1 oz bottle.

The only exceptional ink is shifting ink. A wish may imbue
an unlimited number of 1 oz jars with the shifting ability, and no other cost is required.

# Arcane Sigilist
Mastering the geometry of arcane diagrams is essential to studying any school of wizardry, for it is in this manner that spellbooks are written. However, few have undertaken the exceptionally specialized study that strives to achieve the complete perfection over these diagrams, and to transcend spellbooks entirely. Arcane Sigilist are their own canvases for arcane diagrams, turning their bodies into a beautiful, yet functional, murals of arcane spells.

Arcane Sigilists are often referred to as tattooed mystics and are renowned for both the artistry with which they adorn their bodies and the powerful magic they summon from these markings. Many learn the ways of tattooing from their forebears, the craft having been passed down through generations of wanderers and fortune-tellers.

### Power Sealed Within
Sigilists — regardless of how — have found themselves with
magical power sealed within them. Unlike Sorcerers, who
have an innate connection to the Weave that allows them to
cast spells, Sigilists tap into nothing but themselves and the magic that suffuses the sigils that surrround them to access their powers. This leads to effortless spellcasting, although their repertoire is severely limited.

### Arcane Symbology
The process of sealing magic within a person leaves them
with lasting marks on their skin. For some, these marks were
placed on their bodies by themselves in a special ritual, while for others, the marks were the result of a powerful being tampering with their soul. In cases whether the Sigilist was willing, the marks may manifest as tattoos made from ink, however on less then willing Sigilist, the marks may be akin to a intricate birthmark or blood rash. No matter the nature of these marks Sigilist have an understanding of how to apply them to others.

### Creating an Arcane Sigilist
When creating an Sigilist, think about how they came to
have the magic sealed within them. If they sought out this
power, did they search for the hidden ritual or for an
extraplanar being to learn their knowledge? Regardless of the end result, where was the location your character discovered the key bit of knowledge that eventually led to their thievery of a bit of the Weave, and what was the cost your character had to pay for this power? Further, why did they decide to pursue this path to power among the others available? If this power was forced upon them, what kind of being was it, and does your character know about it? Few Sigilist are born with powers, they instead run headlong into magic, looking to make a normally external power, a internal one.

\columnbreak

</div>

### Sigil Source
When you start a 1st level, you must decide the origin of your sigils, some Sigilists have learned how to seal magical energy inside themselves; others have had it sealed within them by an outside source. Choose a Sigil Source from either Learned or Vessel. This determines your Spellcasting Ability and grants you additional features now, and again at level 6, 10, and 14.

No matter the choice, you can accept sigils into your flesh, ignoring the limit for magical tattoo and their associated Con save. The only limiting factor for your tattoos are space, time, and gold; for the purposes of this homebrew wards, sigils, tattoos, and symbols are synonymous.

### Cantrips
At 1st level, The magic sealed within you has begun to manifest itself. You know two cantrips from the Wizard spell list and can cast them at will. You learn more as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sigilist table.

\columnbreak

### Sigil Empowerment
At 2nd level, you have learned how to push yourself and your
magic beyond their normal capacity. You learn one Spell
Empowerment now, and you learn more as you gain levels in
this class, as shown in the Empowerments Known column of
the Sigilist table. 
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace a Spell Empowerment that you know with
another that you meet the prerequisites for.

You can only use one Empowerment on a single spell. Once you have
Empowered two spells, you must finish a short or long rest
before you can do so again.

### Empowerments
Listed below are the different ways you can learn to empower your sigils with the power sealed within you.

#### Will to Harm
When you use this technique to empower a spell, you add your
Spellcasting Ability modifier to the damage of each effect
created by the spell (for example, if a spell creates multiple rays, you add it to each ray).

<div class='footnote'> Arcane Sigilist | Magical Tattoos</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Full Force
*Prerequisites: level 7 Arcanist*

You can use this technique on any leveled spell you cast
without spending a spell slot (not cantrips). If the spell would be at its lowest level, it is instead cast at the same level as the highest level spell you can cast without spending a spell slot.

#### Versatile Spell
When you empower a spell with this technique, you alter the
material created by the spell, causing the damage type (or
types) to change to another of your choice.

#### Health Channeling
When you empower a spell with this technique, you can spend hit dice to raise the save DC or gain a bonus to the attack modifier for this spell. Each hit die you spend raises the DC or spell attack modifier by 1. You cannot spend more hit dice on this Empowerment than one-third your Sigilist level, rounded up.

#### Distant Spell
When you empower a spell with this technique, the spell’s
range doubles. You cannot empower melee spells with this
technique.

#### Subtle Spell
When you empower a spell with this technique, you cast it
without using verbal or somatic components.

#### Driven Spell
If you have already used your bonus action to cast a spell, you can cast a 1st level spell or higher with this technique to cast it without restriction.

### Artistic Aura
At 3rd level, you have learned how to channel the presence of your sigils into to your presence. During a short or long rest, you can spend one hour empowering your sigils, causing them to release a strong aura. When you make a charisma-based skill check, you can expend a portion of the aura to add your spellcasting modifier (intelligence or charisma) to the charisma-based skill check. You can release the aura, a number of times equal to your spellcasting modifier (intelligence or charisma).

### Warded Sigils
At 3rd level, your arcane tattoos grant you some protection from harm. When you are not wearing armor, your armor class
becomes 10 + Dexterity Modifier + Spellcasting . You
can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at the 8th, 12th, 16th,
and 19th, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Alternatively, your DM may allow you to take a feat instead of the Ability Score Increase.

\columnbreak

### Sigilistic Renewal
Starting at 5th, you have learned to replace some of your sigils. Assuming you work 8 hours a day, you may spend 7 days removing and replacing a sigil with a new one, provided you meet all the requirements of the new sigil.

### Sigil Glyph
By 7th level, you have learned how to inscribe temporary sigils onto yourself which fade when expended. You can now inscribe the spell glyph of warding upon your body and are immune to its effects. You can have 1 such glyph of warding active at a time. Additionally, the glyph does not break if you move 10 feet from where you cast it.

### Sigil Transference
Starting at 9th level, you can temporarily grant a benefit from one of your sigils to another creature. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and a copy of the tattoo appears on them. They gain the benefits of the ward for 1 hour, at which point the sigil fades from their skin.

You can use this ability a number of times per long rest
equal to your Intelligence Modifier. A creature cannot have
more than one ward at a time, and casting it again on the
same creature replaces the old ward with the new one.

### Sigil Shroud
Starting at 11th level, you have learned how to manipulate the aura of your sigils in such a way that they begin to produce illusions. These illusions are effectively a warping of your appearance, allowing your to change your appearance to outside observers. Once per short or long rest, you may cast the disguise self spell innately.

### Sigil Reserves
At 13th level, your sigils have become so suffused in magic, that it has built up a considerable reserve within you, if at anytime you use a sigil that has a frequency property, you can choose to ignore it. Once you have ignored a frequency, you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again.

### Sigil Resistance
Beginning at 15th level, the magic within you has reached such a level that it begins to protect you from harm. Whenever you fail a saving throw against a
magical effect, you can choose to reroll it, taking the new roll.
When you do, you cannot do so again until you finish a long
rest. Beginning at 16th level, you can do it twice between long rests, and beginning at 17th level, you can do it 3 times between long rests.

### Sigilistic Regeneration
By 20th level, the magic from your sigils has suffuse so intensely through your flesh that it gives you superior
a regeneration ability. If you lose a limb, it regenerates in 1d6+1 days, along with any tattoos that were on it. While you are not incapacitated or unconscious, you regain 10 hit points at the start of each of your turns.

<div class='footnote'> Arcane Sigilist | Magical Tattoos</div>

\pagebreakNum

## Sigil Origin
When you gain your first level in this class, you choose a
method by which the magic is sealed in your body, either
Learned or Vessel.

### Learned
Learned Sigilists have discovered and performed the secret
ritual that binds a portion of the Weave within a person. The search for this ritual has left them with a considerable amount of knowledge of magical rituals, but lacking in the faster methods of spellcasting.

</div>

#### Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

\columnbreak

##### Preparing and Casting Spells
The Sigilist: Learned table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

##### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Wizard spell list.

You learn an additional Wizard spell of your choice when you gain one according to the Sigilist: Learned table. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the wizard spells you know and replace it with another spell from the wizard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

##### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

##### Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

|Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier|
|:-:|

|Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier|
|:-:|

#### Additional Saving Throw
Your consistent studies have guided you to proficiency in
Intelligence saving throws. You do not gain this feature if you are multiclassing into this class from another.

#### Ritual Book
You gain the benefits of the Ritual Caster feat, with Wizard as the chosen class. You start with 3 ritual spells instead of two in your book. This feature does not prevent you from taking the Ritual Caster feat later.

#### Ritual of Sealing
*While the ritual that sealed the large portion of the Weave
inside you was costly, there are ways to bind smaller bits
inside people, the bits that wizards use to cast their spells.*

At level 6, you write three 1st-level spells of your choice from the wizard spell list into your ritual book (these spells cannot be ritual spells, and they cannot have a casting time longer than one action). You cannot cast these spells directly, but you can perform a special 10 minute ritual to bind one into a creature you touch, expending a spell slot to serve as its power source.

<div class='footnote'> Arcane Sigilist | Magical Tattoos</div>

\pagebreak

Performing this ritual requires a selection of fine ink worth 5gp per level of the spell, which is consumed after one performance.

Creatures with spells bound into them can
cast them at the expended spell slots level once, and then the power dissipates.
You can only seal into creatures a combined number of spell
levels equal to your Intelligence modifier.

As you gain levels in this class, you learn more spells that
you can bind in this way. Each time you achieve an even numbered level in this class, you can write the ritual for another Wizard spell of your choice into your book. The spell must not have the ritual tag, it must have a casting time of one action or less, and it must be of a level that you have achieved with your Spellcasting features. Because you are not learning the spell itself, but rather the ritual required to bind it into a person, you cannot copy a spell you find into your book that does not have the Ritual tag.

#### Ritual Prodigy
Beginning at level 10, the amount of time and gold it takes to copy a ritual into your spellbook is halved.
Additionally, you have advantage on any Intelligence
(arcana) checks made to decipher or recognize a ritual being
performed.

#### Efficient Sealing
When you reach level 14, you have learned how to stretch your ink, from now on your ritual of sealing can be
completed with tattoo ink worth 1 gp per level of the spell instead of 5.

### Vessel
Vessel Sigilist have had their magical energy sealed within them by an outside source. More often than not, this ritual is much more invasive than that of the Learned Sigilists, and more often than not, Vessel Sigilists didn’t ask for their powers. Whether it be because of a Warlock Pact gone wrong or an extraplanar being overstepping their boundaries with sentient life, these Sigilists have their powers regardless, and the raging storm of magic within them threatens to change their very being.

#### Spellcasting
An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origin, fuels your spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the sorcerer spell list.

##### Preparing and Casting Spells
The Sigilist: Vessel table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

##### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sorcerer spell list.

You learn an additional Sorcerer spell of your choice when you gain one according to the Sigilist: Vessel table. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

##### Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

|Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier|
|:-:|

|Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier|

#### Additional Saving Throw
Your force of will has been enhanced by the magical forces
within you, granting you proficiency in Charisma saving
throws. You do not gain this feature if you are multiclassing into this class from another.

#### Form of the Weave
When you are in combat, the magic within you calls for release, for motion. You can let it fill you as a bonus action, granting you the following benefits for 1 minute:

- It awakens you. You ignore any and all effects from
exhaustion that you have accumulated, and you cannot be
put to sleep or knocked unconscious without being

## Basic Advice for DM's
Here are some basic rules for Tattoos that should help keep balance the game:

For creating tattoos that allow players to summon something, the maximum CR for the creature should be 1/4, and should only be able to be activated once per long rest.

When creating tattoos that replicate the effects of spells, the size and intricacy of the tattoo should try to match the spell's level. If a tattoos effect cannot be found in a spell, try your best to estimate. This is because the magic is "held" in the runic design of the tattoo. Where there is a mismatch, the DC should increase by 5 for every level the spell is above the tattoo.

| Spell level | Size and intricacy |
| ------------- |----------|
| 1st level | Small Simple|
| 2nd level |Small Average, Medium Small |
| 3rd level | Small Ornate, Medium Average, Large Simple |
| 4th level | Medium Ornate, Large Average |
| 5th level | Large ornate|

Tattoos that grant an ability score increase are
automatically Large Ornate tattoos. Their use in the game
can be controlled by two factors: price, and the fact that only Expert artists are skilled enough to apply them. Tattoos should generally activate on an action, and may be used once per long rest.

When determining the cost of tattoos, remember to balance
for the fact that they do not need to be attuned. Tattoos that replicate spell effects generally cost 1,000 gp per spell level, adjusted for popularity and duration. Tattoos that grant a damage or condition resistance, or boost skills generally cost 3,000gp. Tattoos that summon creatures generally cost 7,000 to 8,000 gp. Tattoos that grant an ability score increase cost 10,000 gp per point increase.
