Warder Glyph

The Warder Glyph Ritual creates a Glyph Symbol placed on each side of the Target Doorway. At the time of casting the Ritual Caster creates a unique symbol and provides a Command Phrase having from one to twelve syllables. Any character who passes through the Doorway must state the Command phrase as the last thing spoken before breaking the plane of the Target. If not, the Glyph Effect will trigger and Strike the character with a Battle Magic Spell or Vengeance Effect determined by the Ritual Caster at the time this Ritual is cast. There is no visible change in the Glyph Symbol when a command word is spoken or at any other time.

The Glyph Symbol must be at least 6" by 6" and cannot be covered or hidden by any means. Failure to place a physical rep on the Target Doorway before the end of the Ritual casting causes the Ritual to fail.

At the time this Ritual is cast, the Caster must cast or activate a Battle Magic spell of the same Aspect to be absorbed into the Target Doorway. The following effect groups can be Chosen Spells: Binding, Command, Curse, Necromancy, or Evocation.

For spell effects that require line of sight, the Chosen Glyph Symbol is treated as the Caster. A Warder Glyph Effect will never restore Body Points or remove negative effects under any means.

The Ritual can be cast at a higher difficulty for Arcane Delivery with any Battle Magic spell or Elemental Delivery, if it uses an Evocation spell. Alternatively, the Ritual can be cast at a higher difficulty to place a Vengeance Effect into the Target Doorway instead of a Spell. Once a delivery option is set, it can not be changed.

The effect of a Warder Glyph is a radius delivery with an area defined as the plane of the Target Doorway. Casting Dispel on the Chosen Symbol will allow one character to step through the Target Doorway without activating its Effect.

A cast Warder Glyph on a portal should have a posted Marshal Note, based upon Local Plot Committees’ guidelines.
