Hall

Projects presence as sound, signal, or echo — announce, warn, locate, or drown out.

How it works

Hall is broadcast. It stamps a signature into the air (or the mind's ear) so others notice. In composition it is the beacon on an Anker, the alarm on a Gitter, the false shout covering a Schleier exit. Fictionally Hall wants an audience or a void to fill; whisper Hall into a crowded hall and you get chaos, shout Hall into a crypt and you get answers you may not want.

Combines well with: Schleier (mask the source), Faden (carry the ping), Puls (staggered peals).

Function in Compositions

Anchor glyph. Use it when the fiction needs this verb at the center of the declaration, then dress it with school and scale.

Typical 7-9 Risk Signature

7-9: the signal carries, but it also carries back — ears turn toward you, or the echo lies.

School Affinity Notes

Frequent in Projection and Illusionism work, but any school may borrow it when the fiction fits.
