Magic Sigil

is a sigil that depicts the nine schools of magic:
 * The four Magic (disambiguation) Schools in the cardinal directions.
 * The four Elemental Magic Schools in the ordinal directions.
 * The single Chaos Magic School in the center.


 * There are nine schools of magic in Shroud of the Avatar: the eight elemental schools of Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Sun, Moon, Life, and Death with the ninth school of Chaos in the center of them all. Each school has a focus. Fire magic, for example, directly damages your enemies but also has a tendency to light them on fire, prolonging the damage dealt. Water magic on the other hand is about slowing your opponents with ice and healing your allies with soothing rains. The sigil represents how all the schools relate to each other and it will appear inked on parchment, carved into stone, sewn into cloth and minted into metal coins.
