Aeon Wyrd Familiar with Familiar Tattoo?

[ellindsey]

Let's assume that a character has a Aeon Wyrd familiar. The familiar can hold an Aeon Stone, and the character with the familiar gains the stone's benefits without using up one of their investiture slots for the day, as stated in the rules for that familiar.

Now assume that character gets a Familiar Tattoo (from Secrets of Magic), and has their familiar meld into the tattoo. Does the Aeon Wyrd carry its held Aeon Stone with it into the tattoo? And if so, does the character still gain the stone's benefits while the tattoo is merged?

I don't see any good reason to not allow that.

The only reason that I would see at all for not allowing that is letter-of-the-law adversarial GM'ing.

Nothing prohibits the familiar in your tattoo from continuing to provide the passive benefits it provides normally. If it has cantrip connection, you don't suddenly lose that cantrip when it goes inside you. I see no reason the passive magic of the aeon stone to be much different in this case. The Familiar Tattoo bars the familiar from taking equipment with it other than Companion items, but the aeon stone is a core part of the familiar in this case. It's more anatomy than equipment.
