You borrow some books from the library and go home to study

The Man ringing up your borrow has a massive gold cross around his neck and he casts a stern and angry look. "Thank you and fuck your faith!" , You say cheerfully as you leave. You spend about fourteen minutes looking at the occult pictures when you get home while eating chips and paying half attention the the football game on TV. Soon you are snoozing, a rasping snore sawing out of you. The spells are absorbing through your skin as you snore. The snoring draws text like a cross breeze. Black ink coils into your skin. When you wake up all the books are blank and you have them tattooed to your body.


  1. the library won't accept those books back, not without your skin with the words on it
  2. Your knowledge is greatly increased now and you are ready for your first real magical act
  3. now you have to stand in for the books your skin absorbed, folks can check you out and read you
  4. You committed text crime and you must flee if you ever want to be free
  5. Even though you are not on mad3 you start to come down
