Glyph Forger (4e Paragon Path)

Glyph Forger

“	The greatest art has the strength to outlast even its creator.	”
—Heran, Changeling Artificer

Prerequisite: Glyphologist

In order for art to be truly impressive, it must prove the test of time. Truly great art can last for generations without any upkeep. The glyphs you create will endure. The magic may fade but the beauty imbued in your creations will last for generations to come. By carving your runes into strong wood or metal, you ensure that they will last, and by mastering the art of the forge, you can create glyphs that will hold their magic eternally in steel.
