I have a little conundrum caused by the following spell:

Tattoo
Author: Aaron Wigley, 2 Sept 1993
Type: Physical ·Transformation Manipulation
Range: Touch
Target: Body(R)
Duration: Permenant(5)
Drain: [(F/2)]M
Causes a pattern of the mage's choice to appear on the area touched. The
image is then subject to normal wear and tear. The colours will not fade
over time, but can be abraided, or removed with cosmetic surgery, or paint.
Only one success is required.

I want to learn a version of this spell that will only last, say, a night
and I can't find a way to do so. Allow me to explain; if I used the spell
as is (perminant) I would have to live with it for life, if I made it
sustained I would have to concentrate to keep it there, I want to do
neither.

Possible ways around this I have thought of is a modifier you can add to a
perminant spell that makes it dispellable. That or a way to make a spell
sustainable for a few hours without having to concentrate, neitrher way is
allowed by the rules.

The only way which is viable by the rules is by quickening the spell at a
low force, but that is kind of expensive karma-wise seeing as my character
goes out practically every night.

Any other ideas?

Phil

That's it; get out of my castle!
