Ink Marauder

Signet's blood-magic summoning: draw monsters, sacrifice blood, and animate the drawings — as tattoos or paper minions.

Story so far

Ink Marauder is Tsarina Signet's summoning spell, identified by Mordecai. The caster draws monsters on paper (or tattoos them on their own flesh), then a blood sacrifice animates the drawings into the Blood and Ink Elementals. Tattooed onto the body, the caster's own blood keeps the minions alive on their skin until a sacrifice frees them into 2D form.

The size and number of Signet's minions imply her skill exceeds level 15. It is long rumored that certain sacrifices can produce fully three-dimensional, complete renditions of the monsters — a power Mordecai doubts the producers would let Signet unleash so early in Vengeance of the Daughter.
