making your way to the "tiny" shared bathroom, you climb up the toilet and jump the short gap from there to the sink top. besides your normal personal care and toiletries was your sister's body make-up kit. you open up the kit and see a variety of brushes colored paints and toners. Sadly most of the brushes seem to be way too big for your kobold hands to use, so it looks like its mostly going to be done by hand. In a way its at least more realistic seeing how kobolds are portrayed in media. You think for a bit on what you are going to draw on yourself when you see an interesting glow on the cover of book of myth.
"those symbols, their runes, and runes should have power on their own, right?" you think to yourself as you houl the book of myths and your phone up the toilet and back onto the sink. you start to look through the book for more runes and symbols, pulling up forums on witchcraft forums for added inspiration and hopefully magic theory as it is your first time doing something like this with real magical runes. you start with the rune on the cover for your belly and chest, making a circus outline with a sharp pen going to the top of your scally nipple to over the entry of your general slit, trying not to shiver from how sensitive they have become since the transformation. you mix up a light blue paint with the powders and slowly apply them by hand. you have to take a break or two near your breasts and slit as the warm paint felt so...good to your new cold-blooded body. After the circus was complete you draw by free hand the core sybal that would hold that greatest meaning of "myth" to you which seeing your current form was a dragon.
On your left arm, you put the runes for summoning monsters, feeling strange energy as you paint the line up to your body. on your right arm the runes for shifting spells and link that up as well, the same feeling of energy, of change flow through your limb. you think you're able to not only summon other monsters but turn others with the flick of the hand. your focus sharpens whenever you have the chance to either shift something as you look outside the bathroom window to the people outside or when their is space for a monster you have in your mind at the moment.
"this feels great, if I can just have runes on hand or body than I don't need to bring the book with me to use it." you thught as you continue painting runes reputestioning other worldly beings and powerful shifters, summonners as the strange energies grow in your tiny body. by the time you finish decuating your tail. you look more like a sorcerer, arcane power running thught your very blood.
"I cant wait to show this off" you say to yourself as you flex your clawed finger, the runes glowing as you mentally call for it.
