	'''Wizard mark''' is a spell that inscribes a personal magical [[Sigils\|sigil]] onto objects chosen by the caster, serving as an irrefutable mark of ownership. This sigil is invisible to the naked eye, detectable only through spells such as [[Identify (spell)\|identify]], [[True Seeing (spell)\|true seeing]], or other specialised magical means. Once placed, the sigil is permanent unless intentionally removed, ensuring that the caster's claim over the marked object remains recognised.

-Objects with a function, such as [[Magic Item|magic items]] or [[Mechanism|mechanisms]], are irrevocably altered by the mark's presence.  If these are stolen or picked up by others, they'll function for a single round and then afterwards fail.  [[Wagon]] axles and [[Crossbow (weapon)|crossbows]] seize, magic ceases to work, [[Lantern|lanterns]] won't light, straps and laces will open of their own accord and so on.  Simple goods, like bowls, cups, [[Sword (weapon)|swords]], flasks and so on will continue to serve, though a stopper will inexplicably loosen and fall out.
+Once the caster regains possession of the marked object, its function immediately restores, working as it originally did without delay. This ability makes wizard mark a powerful safeguard against theft, fraud and tampering, ensuring that stolen goods cannot be reliably used by another.

+== Placing Marks ==
-== Placement ==
+Once placed, the sigil is permanent, unchanging and immune to mundane attempts at removal. The only way to alter or replace an existing sigil is for the original caster to consciously dispel it, at which point they may reassign the mark to another object. This means that a wizard cannot mark an unlimited number of items throughout their lifetime — they must actively curate their collection of marked objects, deciding which ones are most important to retain under their magical protection.
-An [[Erase (spell)|erase]] spell can remove a wizard mark, once the latter is discovered.
+Because wizard mark is invisible and undetectable by conventional means, identifying its presence requires specific spells or abilities such as [[Identify (spell)|identify]] or [[True Seeing (spell)|true seeing]]. However, once discovered, the sigil becomes vulnerable to magical erasure. A [[Erase (spell)|erase]] spell can completely remove the mark, but only if the precise location of the sigil is known. This means that attempting to erase a wizard mark without first identifying it is impossible, and even after detection, success depends on the caster of erase overcoming the magical imprint.
-[[Category: Magical Spells]]
+For this reason, many wizards place their sigils in hard-to-find locations, such as deep inside a weapon's hilt, beneath a layer of lacquer on a shield or etched onto the inner pages of a spellbook. Others use multiple sigils on a single object, layering protections to ensure that even if one mark is erased, the others remain intact. This makes removing a wizard mark a tedious and often incomplete process, discouraging attempts at theft or unauthorised use.
