Glyphs
Inscriptioners can create magic symbols which can empower magical and physical abilities.
They take the form of either tattoos or written symbols stored in a book, on scrolls, or any medium that will take them. In the case of tattoos, these glyphs are always available; in the case of written symbols, the glyphs are available when the item on which they are inscribed is at hand.
Inscribing a glyph takes one hour; the cost is given in the descriptions below.
By default, glyphs are constant effects. However, you may, as a free action, toggle your glyphs on or off, individually or as a whole.

Crafted Items
Spell Triggers
You may inscribe a prepared spell into a rune, such that it may be triggered with a touch or a word.
You may inscribe the rune on any surface--parchment, stone, skin, etc. Whoever touches the rune or speaks the word controls how it activates, unless you have pre-defined its activation parameters (target, duration, etc). No knowledge of spellcasting is required to activate a rune. However, you may choose any word you wish, and you may deactivate the touch trigger, so as to make a rune harder to activate by unauthorized persons.
Once inscribed, a spell trigger lasts forever, or until triggered, after which it fades forever. Spell triggers are one-use items.
You may inscribe any spell you know into a rune, or you may work cooperatively with another caster to scribe a spell the other caster knows. Inscribing a spell is just like casting it--it triggers the cooldown, consumes any required materials, etc, at the time of inscription.
Scribing a spell trigger consumes Inscription reagents according to the spell's rank:
| Rank 1 |
20 cp |
|---|---|
| Rank 2 |
1 sp |
| Rank 3 |
5 sp |
| Rank 4 |
2 gp |
| Rank 5 |
10 gp |
