William Stoner's Journal [OUTDATED]

Entre five: Averil þridde, MCC LXXXVII

As I sit here beside the towering spike of rock that was conjured by the Earth Picto-Glyph, I find myself filled not only with wonder and awe, but also a sense of disappointment. For as I reflect on this latest discovery, I realize that the Earth Picto-Glyph, while certainly powerful, may be of little practical use.

As I studied the glyph and observed its effects, I could not help but notice how similar it was to the Ice Picto-Glyph. Both glyphs produced a hard, crystalline substance, one of ice and one of rock, but the differences between them seemed to be largely cosmetic.

Indeed, as I experimented further with the glyphs, I found that the Earth Picto-Glyph was less versatile than the Ice Picto-Glyph. It seems that while the Earth Picto-Glyph draws its power from a different source than the Ice Picto-Glyph, its effects are largely the same.

This realization has left me somewhat disheartened, for I had hoped that each of these glyphs would offer unique and valuable abilities. But perhaps I should not be so quick to dismiss the Earth Picto-Glyph. After all, even if its effects are similar to those of the Ice Picto-Glyph, it may still have some practical use in certain situations.

I shall continue to study these glyphs and learn all that I can about their properties and abilities, for I am convinced that they hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. May the light of knowledge guide me on this path, and may the power of the Picto-Glyphs forever fill me with wonder and awe.

Yours in discovery,
William Stoner
