===''' Spiritual Interpretation'''===
*A marked animal is "ghost-linked" to the hunter’s spirit.
*If the animal dies before the mark fades, it's believed the hunter loses a part of their own life-force.
*Some shamans claim to read the future in how a marked beast behaves—“the dance of the claimed”.

''' Societal Effects'''
*This system reduces bloodshed and maintains ecological balance, even as territories shift.
*It adds a layer of non-lethal competition between clans—clans may boast of "paint-masters", those who can tag elusive or dangerous beasts.
*It also reduces open war—disputes are often settled by competitive hunts, not pitched battles.
