Hello,
one of my player wants to make Glyph magic in a game of my friend. But not classic use, he wants to trigger a spell on condition and stick his glyph on object.
We didn’t find something to do that, so with my friend we created a Boon and also extend this boon for traps.
We take inspire in Arura Boon and Barrier Boon.
I have to point out the boon is just the container of the spell (or attack like darts).
It’s quite big because we wanted to list condition triggers and additional effects. The lists are not closed of course.
Enjoy yourself.
