Description	This rite is performed on up to three sigil stones, marked with an inscription featuring the appropriate combination of sigils for the spell to be invested in the stone. One pot of magical ink can produce up to six sigils (i.e. enough for three lesser or two greater spells); exalted spell stones use exalted ink. The inscription can be added as part of the rite, or in advance of investing, but note that inscribing a stone determines the spell it is going to be invested with. Each stone is invested with a single charge of one spell known to the invoker, represented by a charge card given by the referee attending on the rite, at a cost of 2 magic points per lesser spell, 4 magic points per greater spell or 20 magic points per exalted spell. All stones invested in one rite must be invested with the same spell. Once invested, the stone counts as an enchanted item and is immune to spells that directly alter it. The investment lasts until the end of the event it is performed; at this time, or when the charge is expended, the stone crumbles to dust. Tattoos: This rite may be performed on a tattoo, made using the inks and invested at the cost in magic for an equivalent stone. The tattoo is part of the bearer’s body and cannot be separately targeted by spells. Once the tattoo expires or the charge is expended, the tattoo fades.
