Glyph Lore

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

For each dot in this Merit, a mage automatically comprehends one type of High Speech glyph from any culture. The categories are: Classical (normally only selected by mages who do not hail from Western Diamond orders), Illuminated, Palimpsest and Vulgar. No matter the selected form’s cultural origin, the mage’s player doesn’t need to roll dice to comprehend it.

In addition, the mage can use runes to extend duration and inscribe the rotes she knows using any form she has selected for this Merit instead of the form she learned it in.

Drawback: This is only effective for rotes the mage knows, and only for personal castings of these rotes. Furthermore, no matter how many types of High Speech she knows, a mage can only pass on one of them while recording a given rote.
