Oh! Oooh! This is relevant to my interest. As a (hobby) artist and someone who almost always plays mages. As humans we’ve been drawing on caves with our fingers since we crawled out of the mud. Art and people go way back and the methods to make it have always been neat. And magic. Well, you can just get nuckin’ futs with magic.

- Paintbrushes with bits of the target’s hair mixed into the bristles.
- Canvases with the stretched skin of their most beloved pet(recently or not so recently deceased).
- Watercolor paintings imbued with the target’s/target’s truelove’s/target’s closest friend’s tears.
- Paintbrushes with wooden handles carved from tree branches yanked out of the sylphlands.
- Bits of the target’s clothing painted over so they are inside of the painting.
- In fact while we're at it just literally push the target inside of the painting and trap them there. Everyone will marvel at your character's shockingly good knack for realism in their art. So lifelike!
- GROUND UP ORGANS AND BONES FOR THAT SPECIAL TEXTURE/SHADE OF VERY DARK RED.
- A COW AS WHITE AS MILK, A CAPE AS RED AS BLOOD, THE HAIR AS YELLOW AS CORN, A SLIPPER AS PURE AS GOLD.
