Inscription Marks[note 1] were a method of casting magic. Consisting of symbols carved into an object or surface to perform a specific effect, they had a variety of uses.
Types[]
Acceleration[]
The Acceleration Inscription Mark[note 2] was a type of inscription mark associated with Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia. When inscribed into an object, it increased its speed by speeding up the flow of time around it.[1] When used on weapons, it made them more effective, as with the case of swords,[2] cannons,[3] and guns.[4] As a side effect, the inscription mark shortened the object's lifespan, causing it to break down more quickly; it was for this reason that it was inadvisable to use acceleration symbols on living beings. The ones used by Gumillia were activated by the incantation "Rekles rev".[1]
Boost Magic[]
A type of inscription mark associated with Nemesis Sudou. It could be carved into the ground as a circle and activated at will, and was used to boost the user's magical power.[5]
Enhance Weapon[]
A type of inscription mark associated with Elluka Clockworker. Distinct from acceleration symbols, it greatly enhanced a weapon's power, as with the case of the Chartette Langley's rocket glove when it was used by Kyle Marlon.[2]
Negate Spell Song[]
A type of inscription mark associated with Mayrana Blossom. When placed on an area such as the walls of a house, they could seal the effects of any and all Spell Songs within said area. The ones used by Mayrana gave off a black light, and could be hidden from sight or revealed at will.[4]
Track Target[]
A type of inscription mark associated with Gumillia. As with the case of Germaine Avadonia's sword, it could be carved into an object and, when activated, cause the symbol itself to shine a beam of light straight towards a target, allowing the user to utilize it for tracking.[6]
