Potential-Unlocking Orichalcum Tattoos (Artifact *****)

Fine and delicate lines of shimmering Orichalcum adorn the bearer skin, forming patterns and designs of subtle complexity. Although most likely the image in which the denizens of Malfeas and Underworld have created their own twisted artifacts, these rare wonders work according to very different principles. Instead of imbuing the wearer with power stolen from a demon or distilled from hundreds of tortured souls, these tattoos have the power to manifest the unrealized potential of the Solar Exalt. In time, driven by the knowledge of what she might become the Exalt will make that potential reality and the tattoos show her the next step on the path of excellence. They are a focusing tool of self-improvement.
The Potential-Unlocking Orichalcum Tattoos react differently to every character, spontaneously forming designs independent of the implanting surgeon's will. The following describes a common pattern of powers manifested:

• Manifest Potential: The wearer grants six specialty dots, one additional dot to six different Abilities or two additional dots to two different Abilities, and one additional dot to six of the wearer's Attributes or two dots to two single Attributes. This effect can be completely or partially de-activated and re-activated as a reflexive action.
• Inviolable Destiny: The cost of the wearer's Integrity Protecting Prana is reduced to 3m and that of Transcendent Hero's Meditation to 5m and 2wp.
• Universal Respiration: The Tattoos provide the benefits of three Skin-Mount Amulets, though instead of the hearthstones being set into implanted sockets they simply meld and become one with the wearer's body, their crystallized essence diffused throughout her being.
