By winning a mental challenge, this power allows its user to tattoo or write on someone's aura. The message is visible to any kindred using aura perception, directed at the target even if the underlying challenge is unsuccessful. The tattoo can be no more than three words or simple images in length per use of this power. Multiple uses of this discipline are possible, soul tattoos can be stacked or added on top on each other, much like a wall can be layered with graffiti, a canvas or skin might hold multiple layers of words / images.
Multiple uses of this discipline on a single aura may make aura precepting the target more difficult by two traits down on aura perception challenges, if the aura perceptor and the target are not well known to each other. If both the preceptor and the target are well known to each other, it has no effect on the ability to read an aura. Well known, is per storyteller discretion.
To apply a tattoo, the Toreador must be within six feet of the target and be able to concentrate for one full round. Speaking with the target while performing this action does not break concentration. The Toreador need not have any craft's ability, she only needs to be able to vividly visualize the outcome. The associated ability for rests is subterfuge. If the target is incapacitated or torpored, than she relents to all uses this discipline.
The tattoo lasts until the target burns a single temporary willpower trait, to erase up to three words or images per temporary willpower expended. In order to remove a tattoo, the target must first be aware of the tattoo by being informed that their aura has been altered. An altered aura is visible via the rules of aura perception. A kindred with aura perception may view their tattoo by leaving their body via astral projection, the tattoo does not leave the area of their body. The knowledge of the tattoo must be coupled with a strong desire for its removal. Alternately it will stay in place indefinitely, if the target is not aware of the tattoo, or unwilling to believe it exists, or the target may simply want to keep it as a personal work of art.
