I’m *sure* this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find a real answer… do spells cast from an aberrant dragonmark require all of the spell’s typical components to cast the spell? (Or does “cast through your mark” mean you forgo materials for instance?) I'm not an official source on rules, but as I read the feat in Rising, it say nothing about eliminating the need for components, and therefore it requires the standard components. I'd personally allow a caster to use a spellcasting focus that seemed appropriate to their mark.

However, I discuss components at length in the following article. Just because a spell requires verbal and somatic components doesn’t mean that a spell from an aberrant dragonmark uses the SAME words and gestures as a wizard uses. That article specifically talks about how you could flavor a standard sorcerer as using an aberrant dragonmark to produce their magic!
