Doshi, suspicious by nature, learned early to take nothing and no one at face value. Using this Gift, a Sorcerer can secretly brand any shen or mortal he encounters - as a warning to others, as a request for protection, as a death mark - with sigils only Kitsune can see. The ghostly red or black symbols appear to hover just above the skin - over makeup, clothing, body armor or other coverings - and are distinct at any distance (even if rather small) if the bearer's head is visible. Spirits such as Chimerlings and Epiphlings may share this Gift if they feel like it; Doshi rarely teach it to each other.
The player rolls Manipulation + Occult, difficulty 8. For each success, the Sorcerer may inscribe one character of his choice on the subject. Other Kitsune see the Seal without effort, and will usually act in accordance with the warning or request.
