Glyphs - How much do we really know?

So you could get an indestructible newborn rat for a couple of weeks?

 

that happens every time the npc client takes a dive....

If you plan suicide, sounds like a terribly compliated way.

Doesn't sound suicidal to me. Complicated yes but it could work (unless I bleed to death). Suicide is purposly blowing 100 glyphs up at the same time while holding them all. And its terribly complicated too. 

Oh another question. I believe I read somewhere that glyphs occur randomly in nature and mages usually find them then put them on the glyph stones. I'm guessing thats to make them easier to handle but is it possible to wield the glyph without doing that work? As in if I find a leaf with the glyph markings on it can I use the spell by just using the leaf?

[Suvok]

Looks like it. I suppose that would be easier to stuff into your arm.

I'm guessing that maybe with the exception of Kran all species on Yliakum have a normal functioning immune system ... so sewing up foreign bodies into your flesh will give you a very bad case of immune rejection and is a good way to get yourself killed

Also, where did you read the part about having to put glyphs on stones to make them work? I always thought they could appear on anything natural and are not (easily) transferred. The glyph is the symbol but the carrier can be anything. So by my knowledge having a glyph on a leaf with you, requires you touching the leaf to use magic.

No see I was confused about it. I know that the glyphs we usually use are on stone/wood and are transfered from something in nature. I just didn't know whether you could use the "natural glyph" as well. Thanks

Using glyphs as implants to augment your capabilities beyond the natural limits?

      I don't think this game belongs to the cyberpunk genre.

      But we have golems, and golems are just fantasy "robots", so it could pass anyway. A mind glyph could work as a Mind-glyph Interface perhaps...

Actually that wasn't exactly what I was thinking  Was just curious of what effects it could have.

can't wait for a glyph destroying spell why use offensive spells to kill your foe when you could dotonate there glyphs and blast them into the atmosfear!

Can't wait? That's too bad. You have to wait for everything. A spell that powerful will take years to come out, especially since there is no "atmosfear" to blast them into.

 @Raleigh By golems, do you mean krans? Can golems act and think for themselves? I honestly don't know much about golems.

why does everyone have the problem which makes them need to comment on my bad spelling 

[Zan]

See it as a learning experience and improve your spelling if it bothers people so much

I say good spellers should make an effort helping people improve their spelling, not discriminate against them. And bad spellers should make an effort wanting to improve their language skills ... if they just ignore it and don't even bother to use a language properly well then they deserve negative comments I guess.

[Suvok]

I can see it now...

Nuclear Warheads powered by exploding glyphs!
Grenades made from leaves!
Vehicles powered by combusting Glyph rocks!
The whole of Yliakaum engulfed in a Glyph-uclear War!

The Power of the Glyphs is endless... 

[Duraza]

Next thing you know people start making random attacks on the citizens by destroying a lot of glyphs and blowing themselves up. I can see the idea of glyph bombs turning into a big rp mess

MacGyver can do this one, and without any magic at all! ;P

      *Laanx fanatic suicidal cultist activates blast glyphs, killing himself and all around him.

      *Eljar Republic Imperialist Invader President says: Yliakum is a fundamentalist country ruled by the dictators named Octarchs, it supports terrorism and threatens our democracy, we must liberate their people with our army of freedom fighters! Minister of propaganda, we must call our people to the cause.

P.S.: I do not intend to turn my guild into a Dubya's "democracy" rip-off, this is just another cheap joke
