### Glyph Knight
Glyph Knights weave intricate sigils of power into their Aegis, shaping it with runes that grant greater versatility and strength. Where other spellblades rely on raw arcane force, a Glyph Knight inscribes patterns of warding, binding, and empowerment, turning their defenses into living glyphs that adapt to the flow of battle. Each mark enhances their protection or channels new effects, making their Aegis not just a shield, but a flexible arsenal of magical precision.

- **Activate.** You can allocate an unused spell slot, investing into an Aegis effect you gain as normal.
- **Redistribute.** You can shift any reserved spell slots to different Aegis effects, as long as the total value of reserved spell slots remains the same with the new selection (for example, you can shift two 1st level Aegis effects into having one 2nd-level Aegis effect).
