Levels of Expertise
Beginner | Trainee | Novice | Experienced | Skilled | Advanced
Part I: Tattoos
Skilled [ Next Level: Advanced ]
Sophie is an artist, known to be a jill of all mediums - especially the body. With her wood poke, she forcefully taps images onto the skin, using ink composed of a mix of wood and nuts, a tiny bit of metallic dust, as well as some colored balms. The same ink is painted over the initial images to further embold the image.
Skills
- Scripting: 7/10 [ Able to craft and replicate images onto the skin. ]
- Ink: 6/10 [ Able to find basic ingredients and mix semi-permanent inks. ]
Sophie’s Main Tattoos
- A set of multicolored flames that are patterned up to her forearms. These tattoos have been marked and added to since she was a young girl, originally inked by her mother.
- [Chest Tattoo]
- Grey and blue wisps cover her feet and lower legs, meant to resemble bursts of wind.
- A small, messy sparrow marks her right shoulder, clearly beginner’s work.
- [Back Tattoo]
Part II: Encre de Terre - Ink Manipulation
Novice [ Next Level: Experienced ]
Encre de Terre is a form of controlling any ink. Not only is one capable of moving ink with their will, they are capable of changing it's properties (consistency, color, etc.) However, since the designs are formed and stapled in by magic, they are not permanent. In terms of Sophie, this removes the wooden poke as a middle-man, allowing her to directly control the flow of her work.
Basic Spells
Scribble: This general spell allows the caster to lift ink and control its movements, similar to how a water mage would manipulate water.
Animate - 1: The simplest form of this spell. Applied mainly to her tattoos, Sophie makes her tattoos move for a few moments. (Mainly just to show off.)
Script Spells
Note: This requires mastery of Scribble - With this spell, one is able to lift ink and write in the air, using their index finger as a tool. They would trace the air, as if using a pen.
Inscribe: This spell can be used as both offense and augmentation. The writer casts a single word onto the target's skin, imbuing it with magic for the meaning to take effect. It should be noted that for trickier spells, the word can backfire.
- Roll for Effectiveness: rd2+8 (1 - backfires)
- Mana: 7/18 for current extent.
Offensive Spells
[Stun] Bullets: Shaping the ink into small spheres, the caster is capable of throwing them towards targets at high speeds. (Think paint guns.)
- Mana: 6/18 for every 4 bullets.
Novice [ Next Level: Experienced ]
The practice of Emblem adds a 'mystical' layer to tattoos, using them as sigils. This art focuses more on self-augmentation, unlike Encre de Terre, which deals with using the ink itself.
Basic Spells
Set in Stone: A repairing spell for instrumental images, keeping the magic from weakening the tattoo. This is mainly just for maintenance, usually performed upon restorations.
[ Used mainly for Firestorm + Whirlwind ]
Elemental Spells
The tattoos perform similarly to runes, channeling mana in a certain pattern that allows Sophie to tap into certain elements. The extent of her magic depends on the size of the tattoo. For example, a small script on her index finger would allow her for that finger to light on fire - Nothing more.
Firestorm: The vibrant plumes of flames decorating Sophie’s arms allow her to channel mana into gauntlets of fire, able to reach up to her upper arm.
- Mana: 4/18 up to wrists.
- Mana: 7/18 for full extent.
Whirlwind: The soft colored swirls of ‘wind’ decorating Sophie’s legs and feet allow her to summon gusts that can boost her into the air, letting her remain afloat for certain periods of time.
- Mana: 8/18
