Unlike bile sacs, glyphs do not contain their own magic rather, they command the magic present in their respective titan. Accordingly, the larger the glyph, the more larger effect the spell has. Performing glyph magic effectively requires that both the glyph is drawn accurately enough and that the caster has specific intent for the glyph's action when they activate it. However, complex spells require the glyphs to be arranged in specific patterns connected in a circular pattern by lines. While it is implied that these are the only four possible glyphs, there are infinitely many ways to combine the existing glyphs to create more complex spells. The Titan also implicitly deliberately hid his magic from Philip Wittebane for years.Ĭurrently, there are four confirmed glyphs: light, ice, plant, and fire. As revealed in " Watching and Dreaming", the Titan only shows his magic to select individuals whom he favors, Luz being one of them. The glyphs appeared to Luz in the environment, but did not exist there naturally, and were instead placed by the Titan. To compensate, she instead draws in the magic from the environment and the Titan through the use of his glyphs. In the epilogue of " Watching and Dreaming", King finds out that he is also capable of making his own glyphs, discovering his own form of the light glyph.Īs a human, Luz Noceda lacks a bile sac and thus does not carry a natural reservoir of magical power within her. Each individual titan was capable of creating their own unique form of glyph magic, with The Boiling Isles' Titan's glyphs formerly being the only ones remaining after the eradication of the titan race, still functioning due to half-alive state and thus his remaining power. Glyph magic originates from an ancient race known as titans. It is implied by Eda and Hunter that ancient witches or other magickind lacked bile sacs.Īn alternate form of magic manifests as that of symbols known as glyphs. Using magic while experiencing these strong emotions will cause the user's eyes to glow. If the user is experiencing intense emotions, the effects are similar to adrenaline, where the stronger emotions make the magic stronger but more chaotic, to the point their magic becomes uncontrollable. However, as the magic is coming from a biological medium, the emotions can be connected to magic. Because bile sacs contain magic, bile sac users can continue to use magic even in places where there is no other natural source of magic present, such as the Human Realm. Each bile sac contains different magic phlegms that can be mixed together to create different spells, and thanks to this natural magic reservoir, witches and biped demons can cast a variety of spells just by drawing a spell circle. The most common source of magic used on the Boiling Isles, witches and demons can cast spells through a sac of magic bile attached to their hearts. As witches pursue their educations, they are guided down academic tracks leading to eventual coven membership and magic specialization. Students start training in magic at the kindergarten level and continue to develop their skills across the educational spectrum. This training is accomplished at institutions such as Hexside and Glandus High. Witches require extensive education and training in order to master the system, allowing them to use magic effectively and safely. Witches invoke magic through the use of gestures, incantations, enchanted objects, potions, and elixirs. These rituals restrain and provide order and direction to what would ordinarily be a chaotic force. Magic on the Boiling Isles is manipulated through a system of rituals. Magic is not known to be present in the Human Realm other natural forces exist, but magic is the only force that appears to be controllable through will alone. A spell can be simple or complex, depending on the degree of change the spell caster is attempting to accomplish. A spell, the most basic unit of magic, is an invocation that accomplishes a specific change. Magic, once invoked, has the ability to manipulate other natural forces.
