You touch a creature within range, marking it with an arcane sign of your choosing. If unwilling, the target creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw to avoid the effect, failing automatically if the target is restrained or incapacitated.   The mark can fill up to a 6-inch space and can be seen by any creature that you choose when you cast the spell. The mark can also be seen by any creature with the ability to see invisible things or creatures.   The mark remains on the target and is visible to those who can see it no matter what efforts are made by that creature to hide the mark, including attempting to mask it with clothing, illusions, or shapeshifting.   A remove curse spell or similar magic removes the mark, ending the spell.
