The Limits of a Glyph

It may be tempting to think of the power of a formulated Glyph as a copy of the original Glyph Imprint, since they share teh same pattern.

Consider, however, that a Glyph Imprint's energy becomes more depleted each time it's used to create a Glyph, would it not be more accurate to assume that the Glyph Imprint instead pours some measure of its power into the Glyph, then?

If a Glyph Imprint is used enough times, it will ultimately lose its power entirely.

Through study and research, I have increased the number of times I can use a Glyph Imprint, but 10 seems to be my maximum limit.

I found a similar warning of power the more I evoked my completed Glyphs, as well.

Thankfull,the effect of the Glyph itself did not weaken, if we think og a Glyph as a vessel containing a certain amount of power, then it is emptied of its power after about 25 evocations.

Of course, a depleted Glyph can no longer be evoked.

The Fragmentation and Restoration of Glyphs

Do not assume that a depleted Glyph is completely useless, however.

Let us consider out metaphor of a Glyph as a vessel.

if you wish to use the vessel again, you only need refill it.

I have discovered that it is possible to use one Glyph to refill the power of another Glyph.

One merely need fragmentize a Glyph in a Dry Oven. It can then be used to replenish the powers of another Glyph.

it is important to note that replensihing a Glyph in this fashion will have no impact on the magical effects that the Glyph possesses.

For example, let us say taht we have a depleted Glyph with th e ability to heal wounds.

What happens if we take a Glyph with the ability to replenish mana, framentize it, and us it to replenish our original 'healing' Glyph?

The repleneished Glyph will still have the power to heal, but it will not gain any ability to replenish mana.

A carafe has no say in wheter it is filled with orange juice or red wine; whatever is poured in is what will pour out. Glyphs are unique in that the vessel determines what effect it will produce.
