If you have ever watched the movie elektra, or, night fall ninja scrolls, you may have become aware of a figment of tattoos taking on real world forms and then manifesting into animals and other creatures that will be able to do things for you like fetch things or protect yourself, yes? this thread is about just that sort of thing. i figure it will be an illusion in matters of looking like that animal or creature, maybe a cross to bless the area and so forth, and a bit of invocation or conjuration to get the physical effects there, but, for now, i am going to take the easy way out and make it psychokinetics and pschomatabolism, for a start, as this deals more with the imagination than a real creature that might not listen to you, okay?
So, first of all you need a tattoo of said creature. switching back to real meta magic, this would be a 'collection of energy,' of course. this collection could come from around you, where you would simply attract energy towards you, while at the same time focusing your heat energy 'onto your tattoo.' this would create a lot of energy around the tattoo to make it possible to manifest this energy creature. of course, if you were to pump the energy into your tattoo, you need to do that by regulating the energy into a shape that fits the impression on your body, or, lifts the scar's parts from your tattoo, of course.
Now, if you were to focus all your energy you have collected throughout say a thirty second time gap, you should be able to manifest, for, say a elephant to ram a door that is jammed, yes? this would mean you need to collect the energy to your mind, down your spinal chord and into your scar so as to, as the impression is left within you, on your cell's side, so that it accumulates under the skin. making it project from the skin will be done with minimal effort by focusing it into an illusion, which i cannot remember how to do. the physical effects, though, will be down to the 'power' of the tattoo releasing energy in the shapes of the impression it is in, of course.
Controlling this tattoo creature... i am not sure if it will answer to you as an extension, but it should. let's get to 'standard grade tattoo creatures?'
So, we can also rub our hands together and place them onto our shoulders, like a mummy. this will create static to place into our bodies to charge the tattoo, and, then hopefully manifest this, but it will be white, like 'lightning.' this lightning will manifest for longer the more energy you place into it.
~ Remember, static is caused by free electrons. the longer they stay free, the longer you can control the image for, of course.
Now, if you were to, alternatively, hold your hands out apart as far as you can, you could collect more static after you rub your hands initially, as you will be sucking more out the air. if you were to think of your tattoo being manifested attached to your body, it would be like o.b.e. or an out of body experience, of course.
