[unintended video post thanks to the magic of the community.]

[The scene shows a mountain path that leads to a rift between to mountains. There is usually a bridge but something had cut the ropes for it. Shanoa comes up the path, and stops a the edge of the rift. A howl comes from the other side and you can just see the shadow of something that looks part man and part beast.

[Shanoa moves her hair long hair to the side, and the red tattoo on her back start to glow. A pair of black wings appear on her back and she flies across. When she lands the wings disappear and she goes off in the direction of where the howl came from. And the video ends here.]

I've never seen anything like that. Are you an alchemist?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

Why is there a moving picture of me?

No, I'm not an alchemist. I'm a glyph witch.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

It's a video. I was surprised when I first saw them too. We don't have them in my world so I don't know they work.

A glyph witch?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

An ability I have. With the markings on my back and shoulders, I can create glyph from the monsters I've slain, absorb it, and then use their powers.

[Roze hasn't been here long enough for such things to make sense easily. She, has, however, been here long enough to see there's a lot of strange things that don't make sense in her world]

Is that what's going to happen with the werewolf?

How did things work out with the boy from the village?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

No, I've already absorbed an ability from a werewolf before. I won't be needing to do it again.

His mother and I sat down and talked with him. He was disappointed but he stayed in the village.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

What did it give you?

That's good! I'm glad he understood.

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

It allows me to summon a weapon.

What gave you the wings? I've seen people do amazing things with alchemy but never wings.

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

It was a glyph that I found that was already made. I don't know if it came from a monster or not.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

The glyph isn't the mark on your body?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

The markings just help me absorb the glyphs.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

.....Impressive. I didn't know you could - MAGICALLY summon wings on your back.

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

It's one of the glyphs I've absorbed.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Glyphs?!

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

The markings on my back and shoulders. I can create and absorb glyphs with them from beasts and use their powers.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Impressive. What beasts do you have on you?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

There are several. Not all of them transform me like that. Most of the time they allow me to either summon a weapon or cast a spell.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Oh! ^{So, that's how you use your magic. Interesting. First wandless case I've heard of. Expect for Eris but then she's -} ERIS!

You where born with these 'markings'?

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

No. I was born with the power, but the markings help me control it better.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

^{That makes me wonder more...}

[glyph-witch.livejournal.com]

How so?

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Huh?! Oh, just how magic works in all these universes. If there's a common ground.
