Arcane Symbols

Arcane Symbols Mystic Apprentice 200 hours With this skill you can interpret the glyphs and magical marks that you come across. An apprentice can decipher only the more commonly used symbols, whereas a master knows all but the oldest and most unusual or cryptic wards. This skill does not allow you to create magic simply by writing on something with mystic symbols, but does allow you to correctly understand and use those that you do know how to incorporate into another ritual. This skill could be used, for example, to tell what was summoned from a magic circle that you discovered in a cave (and maybe what went wrong). Understanding arcane symbols is essential to creating your own spells, wards, or circles.
