Symbolism

Symbolism was developed in the east, beyond the Ravens, in what the symbolists call “The first city of humans” – a place of myth, lost somewhere in the vast deserts of the eastern wastes. Nowadays, the symbolists gather in Vajvod, in eastern Davokar, even though some of them travel far and wide in their search for knowledge of runes, signs and symbols. The basic assumption of the symbolists states that the world consists of signs and symbols, and that it therefore may be affected and influenced by altering signs and symbols which represent its diverse features.
The powers of Symbolism are created by drawing or writing. More fanciful procedures are also possible, like embroidery, etchings or weaves. Procedures aside, the power of the symbol is released by the symbolist’s command, and the symbol vaporizes when its power has been unleashed.
Creating a symbol gives no corruption but when it is activated the one who uses it suffers one (1) point of temporary corruption.
