Glyphs are the characters developed that harness the abyss into written form. With thus, it has become the language of sorcerers in which magik is birthed. One of the greatest achievements of sentient life many believe, this was stolen from the Penumbra long ago.

Huema's contribution to this was the dangerous act of inscribing a glyph into flesh, once both living and dead. Only those with little exposure to abyss, the young, or those with mental and physical constitutions able to bear it are selected.

The knights of Ematus Sercia, an order of highly trained even among Isalme's noble orders, are gifted conjurets (term for an active glyph when upon the body). Even above them are Ematus Sercia's elite, the Transients. They are given gran glyphs; powerful magic of the four inner circles.

Rema was inscribed with Claymore, its ability ironically enhances the abilities in all capacity. Megiddo found it the best fit for her as Leien and Nar either demonstrated speed or strength through their own glyphs that designated their roles. Already possessing knowledge of magik, she would be the blitzer.

The irony in this was she was made an Umbra by Miriam, her preternatural abilities acting in the same way as Claymore. This would be her trump card during the Elphyn Letter incident against her former brother-in-arms.
