A rune tattoo, sometimes referred to as a scroll tattoo, is a special tattoo that can be placed upon a person's arm by special merchants. The tattoo bestows the use of spell(s) held within it similar to a scroll. Each spell within the tattoo is set to a maximum number of uses per day based on the spell or merchant offering the service. Activation of the spells follows similar Arcane Symbols usage for activating spells off of a scroll using the invoke command.
