This spell creates a single magic tattoo. You determine the exact type of tattoo, though the selection is limited by your caster level, as indicated below. You must possess a modicum of artistic talent to sketch the desired tattoo - at least 1 rank of Craft: Drawing, Craft: Painting, Craft: Calligraphy, or a similar craft skill. Inscribing a magic tattoo requires a successful Craft check. The DC varies with the kind of tattoo, as noted below.

If you are a 3^rd- to 6^th-level caster, you can inscribe a tattoo that generates any one of the following effects (Craft DC 10):

• +2 resistance bonus on one type of saving throw (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will).
• +1 luck bonus on attack rolls.
• +1 deflection bonus to Armor Class.

At 7^th to 12^th caster level, you can add the following tattoos to the list you can inscribe (Craft DC 15):

• +2 resistance bonus to saving throws.
• +2 competence bonus on attack rolls.

When your caster level reaches 13^th, you can add the following to the list of tattoos you can inscribe (Craft DC 20):

• Spell resistance equal to 10 + 1 per three caster levels.
• +2 enhancement bonus to any one ability score.
• +1 spellcaster level. This effect increases the subject’s effective level, but not the total number of spells.

A single creature can have only three magic tattoos at a time. Any attempt to apply more than that automatically fails.

A successful erase spell removes a single magic tattoo. A successful dispel magic spell can remove multiple magic tattoos if targeted on the creature bearing them.

Material Components: Tattoo inks in appropriate colors costing at least 100 shillings.

Focus: Tattoo needles.
