[[Skill type]]. A [[glyph]] is a type of skill which alters the effects of the next one or more [[spell]]s cast.

==Game mechanics==
*All Elementalist glyphs cost 5 energy to cast, have an activation time of one second, and provide at least 1 "charge".
**Glyphs cannot be removed by foes once they have been activated.
*Glyph effects always occur before the effect of the spell where applicable, such as [[Glyph of Immolation]] and [[Glyph of Restoration]].
**If a glyph is cast while another glyph is already active, the new one replaces the old one. The previous glyph's effects will still apply to the new glyph, in the case of [[Glyph of Elemental Power]] and [[Glyph of Energy]].
*Glyphs are not spells, so they're not affected by bonuses that affect only spells.
*Most glyphs have a duration of 15 seconds:
**If the glyph's "charge(s)" is not completely "used up" within the timeframe, the glyph's effect ends.
*Spells will not generally consume a glyph's "charge" if they are [[cancel]]led, the only exceptions are [[Glyph of Energy]] and [[Glyph of Lesser Energy]].

*During [[Wintersday]] events, [[Hidden Rock]] is a glyph available for use in certain areas and has different properties than the standard glyphs.
