Erase removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from one or two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. With this spell, you can remove explosive runes, a glyph of warding, a sepia snake sigil, or an arcane mark, but not illusory script or a symbol spell. Nonmagical writing is automatically erased if you touch it and no one else is holding it. Otherwise, the chance of erasing nonmagical writing is 90%.
Magic writing must be touched to be erased, and you also must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against DC 15. (A natural 1 or 2 is always a failure on this check.) If you fail to erase explosive runes, a glyph of warding, or a sepia snake sigil, you accidentally activate that writing instead.


Erase would work dependig o how loose the dm was.

imc, slaves and some soldiers were marked with tattoos, but everyone also knew that certain shaped brands over the tatto marked you as currently freed or as disavowing your allegiance to your unit.

so maybe removing isn't necessary, just a mark or scar over it to "break the bond"?
