Canonical Glyph Index (Dataview)

Technique GlyphRoleFunctionSchool AffinityTypical 7-9 Risk
Anker
anchor
Fixed reference points — persistence, delayed triggers, and tethered effects.
Dimensionalism, Abjuration
7-9: the anchor sets, but mobility and flexibility narrow.
Band
form
Active tethering — binding entities, effects, or command channels.
Soul Magic, Animation
7-9: the tether binds, but strain transfers both ways.
Faden
anchor
Continuity and linkage — threading effects across a scene with selective targeting.
Illusionism, Divination
7-9: the thread holds, but it overextends and drags in collateral detail.
Fluss
form
Transfer and conversion — throughput, continuity, and managed flow.
Alteration, Conjuration
7-9: the flow continues but spills into adjacent channels.
Gitter
anchor
Lattice structures — segmentation, routing, and distributed networks.
Abjuration, Dimensionalism
7-9: the lattice deploys but leaves one exploitable gap.
Hall
anchor
Resonance and echo — delayed replay, cadence chaining, and deep reads.
Divination, Illusionism
7-9: resonance amplifies signal and unwanted feedback.
Hohl
form
Void and suppression — null pockets, dampening, subtractive zones.
Negation, Dimensionalism
7-9: the hollow forms but destabilizes nearby structure.
Kreis
form
Bounded domains and closed loops — containment, layered sequences, stable shaping.
Soul Magic, Abjuration
7-9: the circle closes, but containment bleeds at the edge.
Puls
anchor
Rhythm and timed release — beats, scans, and staggered discharges.
Divination, Projection
7-9: the pulse lands, but cadence slips and timing windows open.
Schleier
form
Concealment and filtering — masking signatures, traces, and intent.
Illusionism, Soul Magic
7-9: the veil forms but leaves detectable seams.
Schmiede
form
Constructive shaping — assembly, durable architecture, and forging.
Alteration, Animation
7-9: the forge completes, but impurities lock into the result.
Siegel
form
State locks and closure — keyed, persistent, anti-tamper effects.
Abjuration, Soul Magic
7-9: the seal takes, but requires maintenance or exact keying.
Spiegel
form
Inversion and redirection — reflecting or countering incoming patterns.
Illusionism, Abjuration
7-9: the mirror returns force but distorts target selection.
Stoss
anchor
Delivers directed impulse — forcing momentum into targets, vectors, or transitions.
Projection, Dimensionalism
7-9: the push lands hard but destabilizes your position.
Wacht
form
Boundary denial and interception — wards, triggers, and defensive readiness.
Abjuration, Animation
7-9: the watch holds but demands a costly trigger condition.

Glyph roles: Anchor glyphs deliver or hold the spell; Form glyphs shape how it manifests. See Magic System.

Mastered Spells

A Mastered Spell is a declaration you have stabilized into a reliable formula — fill a pattern's 4-segment Spell Clock by casting it successfully, or research it via Research Matrix.

  • Mastered spells cast as if always ready: no non-ready pressure, -1 Mana Track tick (minimum 1), silent, and usable as combat reactions when the fiction allows (e.g. Deflect Magic).
  • Their 7-9 complications come from their written risk signature.
  • You can hold a number of Mastered spells in active recall equal to your Memory. Swapping spells in or out of active recall requires a safe, calm moment (library, quiet camp, study session).

Glyph Stacks

You may combine technique glyphs in a single declaration: Intent -> School -> [Glyph + Glyph] -> Scale -> Tags. Each glyph beyond the first costs +1 Mana Track tick; stacking beyond your Calculation pushes the matrix. See Magic System.
