Effect

For the duration of the spell, your blood glows and omits a turquoise light. Any messages written using your blood will keep glowing until the end of the spell. Once the spell is finished, any spilled blood becomes invisible.   As a bonus action on your turn, you can end the spell.

Side/Secondary Effects

Your body sheds a dim turqoise light in a 10-foot radius. The light emitted by you with light up any previously written messages or blood stains. Messages appear in a glowing turqoise light and are used by Firal members to communicate in secrecy.    The messages become not only visible to you, but visible for any other beings.

Manifestation

Messages are often written in Firal Speach for an extra level of security. Messages visible by this spell which are written in non-Firal speech, are likely placed by someone unfamiliar with the Firal (and potentially placed to put fool outsiders).    The light omitted by the spell is physically similar to that omitted by fireflies. If a large enough quantity of fireflies is present to create a significant glow, hidden messages may be revealed.

Source

The source of power from this spell is the bond of the person to the Firal.

woah! this is seriously so cool. super curious to hear how this spell came to be if someone has to think about such a specific thing while touching the mark.

Hi zpires, thank you so much for reading and leaving a comment :)! Sorry for the late reply. The requirement to think about the color turqoise in addition to touching ones final mark is so the use of the spell is intuitive and does not require any familiarity with or study of the laws of magic. It is simple enough to teach children (which is important because the spell is inheritable) and to be remembered in times of high stress by all.
