Thayan Spell Tattoo

Source: Forgotten Realms - Heroes of Faerun

Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)

This magical tattoo contains the essence of a level 1–3 spell chosen by the tattoo’s creator. While the tattoo is on your body, you always have the associated spell prepared, and you can cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. If you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spell uses your spellcasting ability; otherwise, if the spell requires a saving throw or an attack roll, the spell save DC is 13 and the attack bonus is +5. If your Attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes.

You can also cast the spell once without a spell slot and spell components. Once the spell is cast in this way, the tattoo vanishes.

The Thayan art of magical tattooing is highly guarded by its practitioners, and thus, Thayan Spell Tattoos can’t be crafted like other magic items. To learn how to ink Thayan Spell Tattoos, you must have a Renown Score of 50+ with the Red Wizards.

To ink a Thayan Spell Tattoo, you must have proficiency in the Arcana skill and with Calligrapher’s Tools and have the spell prepared each day of the inking. You must also have at hand any Material components required by the spell; if the spell consumes its Material components, they are consumed when you complete the tattoo. Inking a Thayan Spell Tattoo takes the same amount of time and money as scribing a Spell Scroll of an equivalent level.
