Key words	Tattoos
Description	The surgeon applies a tattoo about 6in/15cm across, of sufficient complexity to be charged by an invoker with an investment holding up to nine charges of a single spell, per the Invest Talisman rite. The tattoo itself will serve as the inscription for the investment, and thus must in some way represent or depict the spell to be invested. The tattoo can be applied anywhere on the patient’s body, although note that the patient must be able to see the tattoo to activate it. The tattoo survives healing to the location (per a mundane tattoo), but is not permanent; if not charged, it will fade after a year. The ingredients and work units for a talisman tattoo depend on the intended investment, as follows: Lesser Spell: The tattoo can be invested with the specified lesser spell. This consumes 2 whole pots of magical ink and costs 6 work units. Greater Spell: The tattoo can be invested with the specified greater spell. This consumes 4 whole pots of magical ink and costs 12 work units. Once invested and the last charge subsequently used, the tattoo fades from the patient’s skin. If invested but not all charges are used, the tattoo will fade when the investment expires.
