Glyphs

Basic

Glyph Begin
= Input None
= Output None

= Comment Indicates the beginning of an automata.
Glyph Take <Location>
= Pick Pick a location. This glyph will take the value of that location.
= Input None
= Output Value at <Location>
= Cost 10
= Comment Takes the value at <Location> and makes it available to be used as input to the next glyph. Note that <Location> will be empty after this.
Glyph Put <Location>
= Pick Pick a location. This glyph will take the value of that location.
= Input Any value
= Output None
= Cost 10
= Comment Takes the output of the last glyph and puts it at <Location>. Note that this will fail if <Location> already contains a value.
Glyph Spacer
= Input None
= Output None
= Cost 10
= Comment Does nothing.

Creation

Glyph Create Particles <Amount> <Type>
= Pick Pick an amount. This glyph will create that amount of particles.
= Pick Pick a type except Force. This glyph will create particles of that type.
= Input None
= Output <Amount> particles of type <Type>
= Cost The cost of this glyph is equal to <Amount>
= Dominant The glyph is <Type> dominant.
= Comment A picked glyph used to create particles.
Glyph Create Force <Amount>
= Pick Pick an amount. This glyph will create that amount of particles.
= Input None
= Output <Amount> particles of Force
= Cost The cost of this glyph is equal to 2 * <Amount>
= Dominant The glyph is Force dominant.
= Comment A picked glyph used to create force.
Glyph Create Atoms <Amount> <Type>
= Pick Pick an amount. This glyph will create atoms equal to that amount.
= Pick Pick a type of atom. This glyph will create atoms of that type.
= Input None
= Output <Amount> grains of <Type> matter.
= Cost <Amount> * <Cost of Type> * 5
= Comment A templated glyph used to create matter. See your Material Compendium for the types of atoms you can create and the associated cost multiplier. Several parameters of the new matter are determined by what type of matter is created. Please see your Material Compendium for details.
Glyph Create Inverse
= Input An amount of particles.
= Output The inverse of the input particles. If the input is not particles, an error value will be output.
= Cost 200
= Dominant This glyph is dominant of the inverse type of IN1.
= Comment Modifies IN1 to output its inverse.

Transmutation

Glyph Combine
= Input Two particle values.
= Output The combination of both values.
= Cost 50
= Comment Combines IN1 with IN2. The type of the parameters determines what happens.
* If IN1 and IN2 are the same type, the output will be IN1 + IN2.
* If IN1 and IN2 are opposites, the output will be IN1 - IN2.
* If they are unrelated, IN1 will be output.
* If either input is a non-particle value an error value will be output.
Glyph Join
= Input Two values.
= Output This glyph is used to create complex structures, called aggregations, from base particles.
= Cost 100
= Comment Joins IN1 and IN2 together to create an aggregation. Aggregations of particles are atoms. Aggregations of atoms are molecules. Aggregations of molecules are objects. Note that this process can not be reversed. This process is potentially wasteful. It will create matter equal to the lowest amount of the inputs.
Glyph Apply
= Input Two values.
= Output IN1 modified by IN2, see below.
= Cost 150
= Comment Applies IN2 to IN1. This has different results depending on the types of IN1 and IN2.
* If both inputs are particles IN1 is output.
* If IN1 is not particles, atoms or molecules, IN1 is output.
* If IN2 is an atom, molecule or something else IN1 is output.
* If IN2 is Force, IN1 will be accelerated by that amount of force.
* If IN2 is Fire, IN1 will be heated 1C for every 50 Fire.
* If IN2 is Water, IN1 will be cooled 1C for every 50 Water.
* If IN2 is Earth, IN1 will be compressed with 1 Pa for every 50 Earth.
* If IN2 is Air, IN1 will be expanded with 1 Pa for every 50 Air.
* If IN2 is Spririt, IN1 will be pulled closer to the material world.
* If IN2 is Divine, IN1 will be pushed towards the divine realms.
* If IN2 is a Trigger target, IN1 will be shaped in such a way that it fits onto the target like armour.

Glyph Cool
= Input A value of atoms or molecules and an amount of Water.
= Output IN1 cooled by IN2.

Glyph Propel <Amount>
= Pick Pick an amount of Force. This glyph will create that amount of force and use it to propel IN1.
= Input A value of particles, atoms or molecules.
= Output IN1 accelerated by <Amount> force.
= Cost <Amount> + 200
= Dominant Force
= Comment A convenience glyph used to propel objects created using primordial magic. Will do nothing if IN1 is not particles, atoms or molecules.

Emotion Manipulation Glyphs

These glyphs produce effects that manipulate emotions of others.

Glyph Charm <Duration>

Flow Control

= Cost 10
= Comment This glyph will divert the power flow. It checks to see if IN1 is a value. If it is, the flow of power continues normally at the next glyph. If the value is empty instead, it will skip the first glyph it finds and instead divert the flow to the next glyph.
