Jump to navigation Jump to search

Wondrous item, rare (+1), very rare (+2), legendary (+3) (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Contained within a magical needle are enchanted inks that can simulate spellcasting foci while leaving the caster’s hands free and adding a few tricks to their repertoire. Very popular with martial mages.

Tattoo Attunement. To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin. The GM can determine the tattoo’s motif, or you can roll on the Spell Design table below.

If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in your space.

Spellcasting Focus. When you attune to this item, you can change it into an arcane focus, druidic focus, or holy symbol (choose 1). You learn the prestidigitation cantrip if you choose an arcane focus, the druidcraft cantrip if you choose a druidic focus, or the thaumaturgy cantrip if you choose a holy symbol. While attuned to this item, you can cast spells or use features as if you were holding the selected spellcasting focus and gain a bonus to your spell attack rolls and the saving throw DCs of your spells. The bonus is determined by the tattoo's rarity.

Additionally, based on the design of the tattoo you learn an additional cantrip and a spell of a level equal to the bonus you gain from this item. You can use the tattoo to cast the spell once without expending a spell slot and regain this use at the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability score, spell attack modifier, and spell save DC. See the Spell Design Table below for details.
