Vital Mark

3-level Transmutation

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer

Casting Time: 10 minutes

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S

Duration: 24 hours

You mark an unattended magic item (including weapons and armor) with a clearly visible stain of your blood. The item’s magical abilities don’t function for anyone else as long as the bloodstain remains on it. For example, a +1 flaming longsword with a vital mark functions as a nonmagical longsword in the hands of anyone but the caster, but it still functions as a +1 flaming longsword for the caster who placed the bloodstain on it. A wand of magic missiles would be no more than a stick in the hands of anyone but the caster.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher on the same item for 28 consecutive days, the effect becomes permanent until dispelled.
