Spells

Each effect echoes the shape the player draws, so a cast teaches its own glyph.

Repel (Evane, mirrored L): a pair of white-gold L glyphs flash, then a curved shockwave wall shoves the target back with a ring of dust.

Coil (Evane, mirrored S): two white-gold and sky-blue ribbons wind into one heavy spiral and slam down. The heaviest-looking of the four, to match the heaviest hit.

Gale (Evane, parallel peaks): twin peak glyphs side by side, then crescent wind blades and leaves. Pale green marks wind; the glyphs stay in Evane white-gold light.

Facet Seal (Facets, circle + square): a circle and a square, deliberately different, fuse into a jagged prismatic shield that a blow glances off.
