The caster utters a brief imploration to their Patron, then points forcefully at a selected target and shouts, "You Have Been Marked!". This causes a mark or brand to appear on the target creature - either somewhere upon the creature's skin (fur, feathers, shell, etc.) or upon clothing worn by the creature. The application of the mark is painless; the target may not even be aware of its appearance or continued presence.

The mark is a symbol or styling that is associated with the Patron, and is visible to all. Furthermore, the mark glows with a faint light. While not enough to illumninate surroundings, this light is sufficient to allow the target to be seen even in total (but not magical) darkness. (Such a mark might permit ranged attacks by the caster or others where otherwise not possible.)
