Art’s Point of View “How does art look at us?”

2
Requires Seasoned
The power to place wards to monitor an area.
Used by Connor Inkz, Created by jwesley123.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Inkz Pulls his flesh up and off pulling a small item that’s been tattooed into their skin off and out causing blood to come out during the pulling and when it’s finally out it absorbs the blood to become three-d. The ward can be detected with a roll and destroyed through mundane means. You must actively and obviously be using Tattooing Gun.)

Conner’s artistic approach embodies the power of transformative perception and dynamic interaction between art and its audience. By placing harnesses on his art pieces, he metaphorically is exploring the concept that art possesses its own identity and viewpoint shaped by restraints. This act is a profound investigation into how art interacts with and is influenced by its environment, and how it evolves over time in response to these interactions.

The harnesses symbolize the various constraints and influences that shape the interpretation and perception of art. Through this lens, Conner examines how context, perspective, and external factors alter our understanding and appreciation of art. This approach blurs the line between creator and creation, suggesting a symbiotic relationship where each influences and learns from the other.

All commanded creatures are treated as a single ward, with a perception relative to their abilities and limited by their intelligence.
'Let me know if someone comes to this place' works. 'Let me know if someone acts suspicious' does not. Commanded creatures are not able to recognize most items, unless trained to do so- and even then, they might not realize a gun painted pink is a gun, for example.

You must be asleep in order to see and hear through the ward. This does not grant the ability to wake up as a free action.
