Mailliw73 he/him Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 What if an Elantrian were to tattoo or cut or draw or somehow place an Aon on his skin? Would that alter their body, somewhat like the Dakhor? I could picture someone drawing axons for endurance, strength, cleverness, etc, on their skin making them much much better.

Mysty she/her Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 That sounds similar to forging, which does work on the human body. and being from the same planet the powers are probably related. Maybe you could turn them on and off like the aon simbols on the walls for light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I doubt there is any direct connection to Forging, though I imagine similar effects to those gained by placing aims on surfaces would occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isomere Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Dakhor monk bones seem to already do what you are suggesting. It should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 he/him Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Also, can you layer aons? For instance if you drew Aon Ashe four times on a brick and only drew it once on another would the first be four times brighter? If so, I could see Elantrians using this to become insanely fast, strong, smart, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuoni he/him Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The problem is that skin deforms as you move, which may result in deformed Aon - possibly sending one into Reod again. Bones are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj26792 he/him Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 A long time ago I remember this being asked in the context of an Aon Rao tattoo, which would potentially allow them to be powerful away from Elantris... I can't remember what the conclusion was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
