To be able to create a given Glyph, you will have to use 3 types of Runes:
- Potency (looking like a purple square), determining the required level and strength of the created Glyph. They are divided into: Additive and Subtractive types.
- Aspect ( looking like a yellow triangle), determining the quality of the created Glyph.
- Essence (looking like an amber circle), determining the magical effect of the Glyph.

Aspect Runestones
There are 5 Aspect Runestones in the game. They are used in a similar manner to the items used in the process of upgrading (Tannin, Temper, Resin). The only difference is that you use them in the process of production. The better the Aspect Runestone used in the creation of a Glyph, the better the quality of a final product.
Below you will find a table representing all 5 Aspect Runestones, as well as the quality of the created Glyph:
