Swirl is  a magical marking that creates swirly, twirly markings on the creature. These can have a more natural appearance, or be highly stylized spirals and curling patterns.

The animal has a base coat of one color, and a large, single patch of lighter color over the back and may extend up the neck and down the legs. This lighter patch may have some splashes of a darker color if desired.

Leyline creates a glowing line that may extend from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. The line may travel down the sides of the creature or along the spine. It may extend down the front of the limbs as well. The line should be mostly straight/follow the intended path, but can be stylized in different ways, such as with patterns, vines, or other decorative elements.

• Minimum - A single glowing line just extending down the torso of the creature.
• Maximum - A glowing line, with fancy adornments or decorative elements, that extends from the nose to tailtip and down the front of each limb.

Tabby is a very common marking that creates irregular stripes on the creature in a color that is darker or lighter version of the base coat. Depending on the colors chosen, this marking can be very subtle and difficult to see.

Bleached bones adds bone or skeleton like markings to the creature. For any creatures with exposed "boney" parts, like horns, claws or faceplates, these areas may become white or off-white or have a white overlay. The bone/skeleton markings may be white, tinted whites, or any colors from the palette being used.

The underbelly marking creates a lighter coloration on the underside of the creature.

This marking creates patches of white on the creature that layer over all other markings. It can cover from 5%-30% of the creature in a white patch or spots.

Smoke is a soft marking that may add a lighter color over the base coat. It may also interact with other markings that normally have a hard edge to give them a soft edge.

Socks change's the paw color to a different color than the base coat, but still part of the creature's palette. The color may be darker or lighter and may have a soft or hard edge.

The animal has thin, vertical stripes of a different color than the base coat.

Branchmarks are branchlike markings that effect the face, making symmetrical branch like patterns spread out from a central trunk on the nose or muzzle.  The branches may extend into the fluffy areas where they touch, and on to the ears.

Constellation appears as its namesake, and appears etched into the creature's hide. In normal light, it appears faint, but glows brightly in dimmer environments.

Ringtail adds markings similar to the ringtail cat to the creature. It adds darker and/or lighter banding to the tail, and light or white circles around the eyes bordered by a darker color. It may layer under or over other markings.

Midas changes a part of the creature to metallic gold. It may be a body part, like the ears, eyes, claws, limbs, or all or part of the fluffy, etc.. It may alternatively change another marking to be metallic gold.

Midas has a hard edge, unless it is applied to a marking with a soft edge.

Aurora adds soft, colorful markings inspired by the celestial phenomena of the same name. These may appear anywhere on the creature, and may restrict to just the fluffy or other areas.  Aurora's colors are not restricted to the creature's palette, but they should be colors that typically appear in auroras, such as greens, pinks, purples and blues. 

Aurora is a soft marking, but may have some hard edges as well as long as it is still in the spirit of auroras.

Sterling changes a part of the creature to metallic silver, such as the claws, fluffy, tail, paw, etc.. It may alternatively change a different marking to metallic silver. 

Sterling has a hard edge, unless it is applied to a soft-edged marking.
