Hello again, Stolas here. I have a, hopefully, quick magical inquiry.

This goes out to any and all magical users, or those possibly without before coming here. It has been on my mind for a while about those... special tattoos? Let's say for example you had magical powers but they were stripped from you prior to arriving here. Would getting one of these unique markings help regain them or simply give you new ones?

I would be very curious to know how they have affected others with their own abilities. What has been everyone's personal experience with them?

[The words 'Magical Inquiry' had Gale's undivided attention even before he had opened the message itself.]

I would be happy to assist you in this endeavor! Back home, I was once considered a wizard of some acclaim. Upon my arrival here, I was unable to cast spells despite the fact that it has always come to me naturally, but upon receiving one of those tattoos, I was able to use magic almost exactly as I always had. There are some small differences; I am unable to sense the Weave, the source of all magic in my own world, but I'm able to cast as though I could still draw upon its power.

[noctuagoetia]

Oh, I see. That does shed some light on the issue.

I suppose you could say I am a bit of a wizard myself. Or... rather... WAS. At least for the next 100 years... But that's neither here nor there. If what you're saying is true, then it would seem these tattoos restore powers you already possess?

[netherese]

It sounds as though you've fallen on hard times, my friend.

Indeed, these tattoos will restore your pre-existing powers, but they do grant potential to learn something new, as well. How you make use of that is up to you, but should you choose to pursue a new sort of magic, you'll have that opportunity.

I was born with magical power that was locked away when I arrived here. One of those tattoos unlocked my magic. Haven't tried all of my spells yet, but the ones I have tried work as they should. I've heard of them giving people new abilities, unlike ones they had naturally from home, but I've yet to try another one myself.

So far nothing's blown up in my face, so I'll take that win.

[noctuagoetia]

I was born with magic as well, though I had to awaken it through magical study from a young age. The crux of the problem is that that.... potential was taken from me prior to arriving here.

[coldjustice]

So you're wondering if you could perhaps reawaken those abilities with a tattoo? Could be worth trying. If it was yours at one point, I would think it could be again.

My powers were restored upon a tattoo. If there is a difference, I have yet to discover it.

[noctuagoetia]

Is that so? So before coming here, did you lose them? Or did you have access to them?

[menaceunleashed]

No. They were suppressed upon my arrival.

I couldn't shapeshift when I got here, but one of their tattoos made me myself again. Can't say what would happen if the powers were stripped away before you got here.

But you can get new ones. I think a lot of them are elemental of the ones you can get here. It's a wide array of elemental ones, not just your basics.

No matter if your powers come back or you get new ones, you gotta refresh the tattoo every once in a while. And you can change them a little too. That's what I did last time I refreshed mine. Got an "upgrade", I guess.

[noctuagoetia]

Hello Nimona, dear!

I forgot you had powers. I should have come straight to you to ask. I fear my old powers might be gone even with the tattoo... But I was curious to see if there might have been away. I think I'm ready to try. If the worst thing that will happen is gaining new powers then... worth a shot.

[pinksidekicking]

Nah, I think our situations are different so it's good that you got to hear from other people too! Maybe someone out there is in a similar one to you.

If you could get an elemental power, which one would you want? And what would the design be? It's gotta be special to you!

In my experience, yes. I was unable to cast any spells during the time I was undecided whether or not to get the tattoo. I now have the ability to call upon them, though I've noticed there have been a few differences.

[noctuagoetia]

I am too undecided about getting one of those special tattoos. Though my concern was what if my powers don't return? My situation is... a bit different, I fear.

[tilfrosset]

I would also say my situation is different, but without knowing what yours is, I can't be confident in proclaiming such. If you don't mind me asking, how does it differ?

[crack_shots]

I can't say I've ever lost any powers that I wished to restore so I'm not sure how helpful my experience would be. But the tattoos seem easy enough to acquire. Do you have any reservations about simply trying it out?

[noctuagoetia]

Not reservations per-say... I have been hesitatent to try. What if my powers are all truly gone? That is my fear.

[crack_shots]

If they are gone, that truth remains whether you are ignorant of it or not. The hope you're holding onto may be a comfort but I think it's better to take the chance. Either outcome will open a path forward.

Im was recovering from a war where i overused my powers when i cam here and im slightly better now but the nunmber of zombies i can summon at once is still very lmited.

does that help??

[noctuagoetia]

It has been informative. Seems like those who had powers before can reawaken them. Thank you for sharing.

Zombies? Are you a necromancer?

[refantasma]

[telepathicignorance]

The tattoos give your powers back. I don't even know if you can get other powers if you already have them.
