This spell allows you to inscribe your personal rune or mark, which can consist of no more than six characters. The writing can be visible or invisible. An arcane markspell enables you to etch the rune upon any substance without harm to the material upon which it is placed. If an invisible mark is made, a detect magicspell causes it to glow and be visible, though not necessarily understandable.

See invisibility, true seeing, a gem of seeing, or a robe of eyeslikewise allows the user to see an invisible *arcane mark.*A read magicspell reveals the words, if any. The mark cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed by the caster or by an erasespell.

If an arcane markis placed on a living being, normal wear gradually causes the effect to fade in about a month.
