"After studying the tomes, ancient denizens of Aevonhold discovered that when an Arcane Sigil is memorized, the Sigil can be converted into a physical Arcane reaction. After realizing this, many ancient mortals with the Gift began to inscribe tomes with Sigils they had seen when dreaming of the Astral Plane themselves.

It was discovered a short time after that the astral constellations when turned into Sigils would elicit many different reactions or, spells. There are an infinite number of Arcane Sigils for any type of magic or spell and many more are to be discovered." - Astral Plane

Overview[edit | edit source]

Arcane Sigils are the very basis of magic within Aevonhold. An infinite number of them soar endlessly through the Astral Plane constructed as constellations, dotting the swirling skies. To the denizens of Aevonhold, these sigils hold the fleeting magical power that flows throughout the realm.

Much of the common magic throughout the realm has been discovered through this process, and sigils that differ from the known magic are quick to be written into grimoires, compendiums of magical sigils, no matter how little the change.

Arcane Sigils can range in shape and complexity, broader sigils related to entire branches of magic can take years to understand fully, while smaller less powerful sigils related to forms of magic such as vigors have been known to be learned unknowingly.
