Glyph System

==User==
Shanon; others might know how to use Glyphs as well but Shanon is the most skilled
==Description==
A method of harnessing magic through the use of symbols and designs. This is done by basically containing the magic within the glyph itself; this is akin to "bottling" the spell for later use. The glyphs and symbols, in Shanon's case, are actually drawn on her with a special type of "ink". Others will have to actually conjure the glyph in the air which isn't as efficent (and Shanon can counter these too).﻿
==Effects==
Highly variable and effect depends on the symbol or glyph. Many can generate weapons of varying power, including axes, knives (both of which are thrown), swords, scythes, and more. Elements such as fire, ice, electricity, light, and dark can also be conjured. There are also glyphs that can summon familiars and enhance strength and defenses or make the user lucky with only an initial expenditure of magic, the effects then continue with no further magic required. The possibilies can seem nigh limitless.
Glyph Unions are a method of combining glyphs and unleashing an attack that is generally powerful (although invalid combinations do not consume much power and aren't very powerful at all). As far as is known, only Shanon seems to be able to do this effectively and even she can't continually do it without some form of rest.
==Limitations==
Alone, this power cannot do much for defense. Even the glyph that improves one's defenses does not do that much for the user. It's advisable to be wearing some form of armor for better defense.
Also, as previously stated, in most cases the glyphs must be conjured in the air and they will take a few moments to activate once conjured, leaving the caster vulnerable. The process Shanon underwent to bypass this limitation is held highly as secret and it is a hard process that requires much training (though it is does not carry much, if any, fatal risk).
Due to the nature of magic like Black or White magic, the Glyph system has no way of controlling either type of magic.
==Creator Notes==
Obviously, this is based on Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and it's primary ability system.﻿
