Brought this up on the Ask For Explanations thread, there's concerns that this just looks like a normal tattoo out of context. Nothing in this pic says supernatural.

Weak keep. I think you can easily infer that the mark is supernatural in nature. That said, I'm very open to replacements.

Pull nothing about the mark screams supernatural. It just looks like a tattoo.

Leaning towards pulling. And the caption doesn't relate to the tattoo.

[up][up][up] Do we need the bottom two? The dialogue already says it's a magic mark.

(Plus then we can use the colour version of those panels).

Pull.

6 is good [tup], I also think it doesn't really need the bottom two panels.

Here's a crop of a fresco by Mikhail Vrubel, located on the vault of the choir in St Cyril Church and named "Descent of Holy Spirit on the Apostles".

[up] & [up][up]

I don't mind removing the bottom two I was just concerned about people quibbling saying it was just a sign of being a spell caster not put there intentionally.

[tup]The string symbolism in 12.2 and 12.3 is nice.

@9: I think without the bottom two panels, 6 only illustrates Mark of the Supernatural.

Actually question as much as I like my suggestions in 12, do they count for this trope? Is this trope about just being claimed by the supernatural or is it about getting a magical marking of some sort to show you are claimed? Because of the long lead in on the trope description itself I'm a bit confused.

I don't think the mark needs to be explicit, the trope is Claimed by the Supernatural and not Mark of the Supernatural. 12.2 works well.

I like 6 best. I'd prefer all four panels, but two also works.
