IMC, Arcane marks are virtually impossible to forge. If a document needs an Arcane Mark to be authentic - +50 when it comes to the forge check.

You can get a higher information density by giving the Mark a meaningful orientation; a simple four-point (Up, Right, Down, Left - indicated by which direction the "top" of the Mark points) doubles your information density. The greater amount of discernment you can get out of your minions, the greater information density you can put into a given mark.Hypersmurf said:Sure. You just need to cast a whole lot of Arcane Marks and use a binary code - Mark, Space, Mark, Mark, Mark, Space, Space, Mark...
-Hyp.

This spell allows you to inscribe your personal rune or mark, which can consist of no more than six characters.
HeavenShallBurn said:Six characters can include a great deal of information.
Hypersmurf said:Yes, but it's not a variable six characters.
For example, my personal rune or mark of six characters or less might be "-Hyp."
I could cast Arcane Mark to inscribe -Hyp. on a sword, or to inscribe -Hyp. on a wall, or to inscribe -Hyp. on a harlot's shoulder. But I couldn't cast Arcane Mark to inscribe "GOWEST" at one intersection, and "GONRTH" at another intersection, despite those being only six characters long, because they aren't my personal rune or mark.
-GONRTH.
