Glyph
From Guild Wars Wiki
Skill type. A Glyph is a type of skill that is only available to the Elementalists. Glyphs are used to alter the effects of the next one or more spells cast.- Glyphs cannot be removed by foes once they have been activated.
- All glyphs cost 5 energy to cast and have an activation time of one second.
- If the glyph is not completely "used up" within a time (15 seconds unless otherwise specified), the glyph's effect ends.
- If a glyph is cast while another glyph is already active, the new one replaces the old one. Casting a glyph is not casting a spell, therefore none of the effects of the previous glyph will affect the new one.
- Spells will not generally consume a glyph's "charges" if they are cancelled, the only exceptions are Glyph of Energy and Glyph of Lesser Energy.
- Glyph effects always occur before the effect of the spell effect where applicable, such as Glyph of Immolation and Glyph of Restoration.
