Hey! I just have a few more questions about magic/tattoos/the prayer mark stuff from his canon, now that I'm thinking about it more.
I just wanted to double check that I have it right that any tattoo would unlock the canon abilities, even if it's just intended as an elemental one?
Basically: in character I don't think he'd necessarily see a reason to get one before trying his prayer marks if/when he does, since those depend on a connection to a god so he'd assume testing whether that god still responds (or whether the water-related monsters here seem to recognise the 'language' of the water god he's used to) would be separate from the local magic system.
But he might get an elemental tat on the basis of wanting his own power, and since you said his prayer marks would still be available here it could be super interesting to have him realise they do work, at some point after that.
Also: given the canon abilities depend completely on his connection to a god at home, would they still be based on that connection being maintained somehow? In canon gods seem to be eldritch beings that exist in their own reality(s) or 'haunts' but exert their influence on the canon world.
Or would the prayer-marks work but just by drawing on the local magic/his own energy and only work that way because he expects them to?
Also: would this be the right place to write up a more detailed list of what we've seen them used for? I've been going back over canon (which is still unfortunately kind of vague) and I just want to double check everything for nerfs/what would have any effect here before I have him actually use anything.
