Glyphs are spell and ability enhancements created by scribes. Until used, they are not soulbound and can be traded or sold. The colors used in Glyphs are colors of the class for which they are meant.
Once learned, glyphs are permanent and may be switched out at any time outside of combat. Changing a glyph requires a Vanishing Powder for characters level 25-80, and a Dust of Disappearance for characters over level 80.

Prime glyphs 
Edit
Prime glyphs are effective in combat, and generally increase the healing or damage of an ability.
Examples:
- Increases the healing done by an ability:
[Glyph of Frenzied Regeneration], 
[Glyph of Holy Light].
- Increases the damage done by an ability:
[Glyph of Steady Shot], 
[Glyph of Dark Death].
- Add an additional effect to your ability:
[Glyph of Molten Armor], [Glyph of Heart Strike].
Major glyphs Edit
Major glyphs feature spell changes that may increase the damage, or another feature of the spell. Some of these glyphs have trade-offs. For example increasing direct damage but removing a DoT effect of the spell.
Minor glyphs Edit
Minor glyphs give convenient or cosmetic improvements, such as reducing a spell's cost or removing the need for a spell's reagent.
Examples:
- Increases the duration of a spell:
[Glyph of Blessing of Might].
- Removes the reagent cost of a spell:
[Glyph of Levitate].
- Changes the graphics of a spell:
[Glyph of the Penguin].
- Increases the effectiveness of a spell:
[Glyph of Thunderstorm].
Some minor glyphs do have a more substantial effect, such as reducing cooldowns (
[Glyph of Challenging Roar], 
[Glyph of Lay on Hands]) or increasing damage ( [Glyph of Sense Undead]) so don't dismiss minor glyph slots straight away.
Notes Edit
- Players gain access to glyph slots based on their level:
- Level 25: 1 Prime, 1 Major, 1 Minor.
- Level 50: 2 Prime, 2 Major, 2 Minor.
- Level 75: 3 Prime, 3 Major, 3 Minor.
- The Glyph window can be found under in the player's Talent Book under the Glyphs tab.
- Players who bought their Dual Talent Specialization will have two different sets of glyphs, and will need to activate a specialization in order to change its glyphs.
- Glyphs can be installed at any time except when the player is in combat.
-
Like gems, once installed, a glyph is consumed. It cannot be recovered.Glyphs are no longer "used"; they are now learned. - Glyphs are now learned. Once purchased and read, they are added to a sortable library.
- Glyphs are no longer destroyed; however in order to switch one for another you must use vanishing dust.
- Glyph effects cannot be stacked (they are Unique-equipped).

Cataclysm Edit
Initially, there would be additional glyphs known as "ancient glyphs", added with the Path of the Titans system. When Path of the Titans was cancelled, the glyph system was changed to three tiers - Major, Medium and Minor. This was later changed to the system implimented in Patch 4.0.1 - Prime, Major and Minor.
