Tattooist

As a mystical tattoo artist, you have an enchanted sketchbook that you can use to create spellbangers. Spellbangers are the smallest type of magic tattoos, easily fitting upon your fingertips. They only require a few minutes of focus to sketch during a long rest. The application process for spellbangers is similar to the application process for magic tattoos, requiring spare needles and tattooist's tools in hand.

Casting a spell using a spellbanger is akin to casting a spell from an item, so you must take an action, bonus action, or reaction (depending on the original spell's casting time) to produce its spell's effects, but you may do so without material components. If the spell requires a material component with a cost, you must have that specific component before you can cast the spell using a spellbanger. If the spell requires concentration, you must concentrate.

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your spells, since the spellbangers are fueled by the magical energy that naturally courses through your body, as blood flows through your veins.

At 1st level, you've learned how to observe spells in the heat of battle and conceive spellbanger designs to recreate the effects of those spells.

As a reaction when a creature (other than you) that you can see within 60 feet of you casts a spell from the Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard spell list, you can make an ability check using your tattooist spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, you can sketch a spellbanger representing that spell during a long rest within the next month. If you do not sketch the spellbanger within the allotted time, you must observe the spell being cast again. Once you have sketched a particular spellbanger, you may sketch it without needing to observe the spell again.

The Tattooist table shows whether or not you can apply the spellbanger.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

The spellbangers you sketch in your enchanted sketchbook are a unique variant of the main branch of magic tattoos you can create. As you gain levels, you also gain more experience with the fascinating manner in which magic flows through all things in the multiverse. This allows you to find imaginative ways to manipulate the flow of magic on a smaller scale through your arcane designs. Your expertise inevitably allows you to better comprehend the tattoos created by others as well, whether discovered on the back of a traveling mercenary or a legendary deity.

Starting at 2nd level, you've gained the ability to sketch magic tattoos.

At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a tattooist style of your choice. Your choice grants you features at 5th level and again at 9th and 15th level.

At 3rd level, you have learned how to apply defective magical ink onto weapons. To use this ability, you must have tattooist's tools in hand. You can use a bonus action to unload and apply charges of Bad Ink onto the weapon of a willing creature within 5 feet of you.

On the next hit using that weapon, it does an additional 1d6 acid damage per charge applied and the ink vanishes. If you don't hit a target with the inked weapon within the next hour, the Bad Ink fades away. You have a number of charges equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of one). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

At 7th level, you've learned how to manipulate magic tattoos in unusual ways. With tattooist's tools in hand, you can use an action to magically transfer one of your magic tattoos from yourself onto one willing creature within 5 feet of you that has an available attunement slot. The creature may use that magic tattoo as if they were attuned to it. This exchange is reversed after a short or long rest, at which point the transferred magic tattoo disappears from the creature's skin and reappears on yours.

A creature can only benefit from Art Loan from one tattooist at a time.
