Talk:Mystic tattooist

As mystic tattooists are inherently artists, their artistic natures allow them to select the appearance of their magic. Normally, an activated tattoo shimmers effect while in use. In the alternative, another effect can be selected. The active tattoo can be faded, vanish completely, turn greyscale, glow, or just leave an outline. Likewise, the normal appearance of a conjured item is that it suddenly appears. Alternatively, the tattoo could seem to peel off of the skin, swell up, appear in a flash of light or puff of smoke, or any other effect that the mage wants.

A mystic tattooist can select these options as a signature style for free. The journeymen level of Principles of Magic can be used later to change this. These effects are purely visual, and have no associated game mechanics. It's all in how you picture it. Do you imagine grabbing an axe tattoo off of your arm? Do you instead see the inked warrior touching the tattoo with one hand while the axe suddenly appears in the other? Or, do you picture someone tapping their tattoo and then grabbing the axe from a cloud of mist as it hovers in front of them?
