What arrives in reply to a sigil request
Three things arrive: the image with the symbol, a written breakdown — what it’s built from and what each element means — and short instructions on how to handle it. An image without an explanation would be mere decoration, so the breakdown always comes.
The image
A picture of the symbol, ready to save. Staves are drawn in a stone-carving style, sigils softer and more fluid. The format is ordinary — an image in the chat: it saves, goes on a wallpaper, prints.
The breakdown
The most valuable part. What elements are inside, why those, and how they connect to your phrasing. The breakdown is what turns a picture into a tool: you understand the construction and can check it.
The instructions
What to do next: where to keep it, how to handle it, when to refresh it. Short and practical, no mandatory rituals.
How long to wait
Not instantly: the symbol is drawn, not pulled from a library of ready ones. Usually up to a minute or two.
You can ask for a redo
If the image doesn’t resonate — say so. It’s a normal part of the work: the symbol has to please you, otherwise you won’t look at it and the whole point is lost.
