"Sidestepped every rule in the book." Lara shrugged. "You don't channel
energy into living cells because they adapt and rely on the magic. I'm not.
I'm basically tattooing them. You don't transmute bone because there are
counter spells and low magic situations that could reverse them. Except for
chemical changes. You don't make small scale changes to organs because of
complex visualisations. This isn't complex. You don't add inorganic
elements to your body. But carbon isn't. So none of the reasons apply."
She smiled. "Tattoos are fine as are bone tattoos. I'm basically tattooing
my bones with carbon nanotubes. Tougher than diamond, doesn't shatter, and
magically neutral because carbon. So if someone were to shoot me between
the eyes with a teflon bullet it wouldn't penetrate my skull. Wouldn't
protect me from whiplash or concussion but my skull would be unbroken and
my brains on the inside."
