OOC: two things:
1) nice Braveheart reference.
Respect.
And 2) it is a bit of an overexaggeration, and the drawback of that is catastrophic on Oritigo, more than enough to destroy his body and soul.
Let me explain how it works.
Each tattoo takes twice as long to form as the last, starting at one week for the first.
With each tattoo he releases, it goes back one tattoo for the count, but his power is reduced by an equivalent amount for each release.
I.e. If Oritigo released 3 tattoos, his power would increase by 8 times for about 3 hours, but then he would be at 1/8 power for 4 weeks, an equal amount of time for the seals to reform from base.
During his refractory period, he cannot use the seals to recover his power.
It is a massive double edged sword, and releasing more than 5 tattoos would start to shatter his body, and any beyond ten would kill him when the power faded.
At seven, his body would be irreparably shattered without more power from the tattoos, and his weakness would return when the power left.
Just explaining, but it is an intimidation move.
IC: O: I increase my power to 15%.
"How about no, you freak."
I put the tip of my blade into the monster's chest.
"I give you this choice.
Leave this world now or die."
Z: you notice my hands warm up and I smile.
"I make you uneasy because I accept you?
Lilith, you are an amazing person.
You come off as so harsh and mean, but you really are kind."
Poofers jumps down onto her and I chuckle.
"Even he can see that."
P: "mrow!"
Licks Lilith's cheek.
