Glyph and Soulorb Magic

Rumor has it thousands of years ago, long before the creation of what is today known as magic, there were a group of people who were different from the others. They were born with a special symbol on their arm or back, that allowed them the use of wondrous powers. To make sure these powers were not lost when they died, they constructed a glyph that were placed somewhere random throughout the many worlds for others to learn from.

As a test to prove those who withed to learn their magic were worthy, a guardian was placed at each one. Whenever the guardian is defeated the victors can learn from the rune for a short period of time before it vanishes, moving to a new location in the universe, so that new users would have to prove themselves again.

Over time, these magic users faded, and a artificial way to use these powers were formed. These were formed by taking the souls of powerful creatures to augment their own abilities. However, this practice was imperfect; while now and then a glyph was found they could use, for the most part they remained dormant, and soon, these people too faded into obscurity....



This school of magic is by far the most difficult to learn, due to the rarity of finding a glyph. In addition, no other type of magic can be learned, not even beginner, mind, or bardic magic. Lastly, most of this magic cannot be learned without a large glyph on your arm or back that has been present since birth.

This school is also separated into three different divisions, each with their own requirements to learn. Those who have the ability to do so can learn from one, two, or even all three divisions, tough like other schools they must learn them in the proper order ( You cannot learn the second circle of a glyph without knowing the first circle ).
