When I looked more closely at the icons for glyphs on my elementalist, I noticed something peculiar. They all have a circle with an icon in them, but the circles have varying ‘arrows’ sticking out of them. Glyph of Elemental Harmony for example, has one in the to left and one in the bottom right corner, Glyph of Lesser Elementals has them exactly opposite and Glyph of Elementals has them in all corners. Does anyone have any idea if that means anything special?

magical glyphs are exactly what they say they are: “drawings” or symbols that represent a certain thing, in this case, a magical effect.

necromancer marks also have unique drawings in them, and i’m sure you can find more examples among caster classes.

That’s true, but my question was more directed at the makeup of the glyphs. Why are they what they are, and why are there little triangles on the outsides of the circles that vary per glyph? Do they have any special meaning? Is there a reason why for example Glyph of Storms has a lot of triangles, and Glyph of Renewal has less?

Such is not really brought up anywhere so I don’t think anyone could answer such a question.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I’ve become interested in this as well for RP purposes.
