Description
Glyphwork brings the magic of The Owl House into Hytale. Draw your own glyphs at a Glyph Desk, throw fireballs, raise ice walls, cast Eda's Double Glyph, carve a palismen of your own and fly around on Owlbert or your own palismen.
I've been working on this for a while now, and I'm really excited to finally put it out there. It's a beta, so everything is in and playable, but things like spell sizes and damage are still getting tuned. If something breaks or feels off, let me know! A short clip of it happening helps a ton.
Glyphs
There are four glyphs, Fire, Ice, Plant and Light, and each one has two spells. Hold left or right click to raise the glyph, wait for it to light up, then let go. You tap it, it burns away, and the spell goes off.
| Glyph | Left click | Right click |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | A fireball that sets the ground on fire | A wave of fire rolls out in front of you |
| Ice | An ice wall | A ring of ice spikes that freezes everything around you |
| Plant | A leafy arch with hanging vines | Brambles burst up where you look and trap whatever's inside |
| Light | A floating light you can push or carry around | A flare that lights up wherever it lands |
Every glyph also comes in three tiers: Glyph, Greater Glyph and Grand Glyph. The higher ones hit harder, reach further and last longer.
Glyph combos
Mix glyphs together at the desk and you get 20 bigger spells, mostly following the fan-made combo chart, and plenty of them come straight from the show or are creations of my own:
- Eda's Double Glyph: a fire explosion, then ice spikes burst out of the ground
- Eda's Super Glyph: an ice monster climbs out and fights for you, and it just keeps growing
- Lilith's Counter Glyph: shuts down all the magic around you
- Camila's Ice Glyph: a freezing beam that blows up at the other end
- Amity's Thorns: a whole line of brambles rips out of the ground
- Titan Skull Glyph: step through a portal to wherever you're looking
Plus Tornado, Mist, Snow, Invisibility, Bloom, Fire Ward, Water Fountain, Ice Sculpture, Petrification, Monster Claw, Safety Hover, the Opening Glyph, and more…
The Glyph Desk
Every glyph, combo and palisman starts at the Glyph Desk. It's a proper crafting bench with three tiers, and it grows as you upgrade it.
You can make all of it in survival, using stuff you'd already find in Hytale:
- At a Workbench, make Glyph Paper (3 fibre), Glyph Ink (charcoal and tree sap) and a Quill (light feathers and a stick)
- Build the Glyph Desk at the Workbench with 6 wood trunks, 4 paper, 2 ink and your quill
- Paper and ink at the desk gets you your first glyphs
- Tier 2 (iron bars, life essence, yellow crystals and ink) unlocks Greater glyphs, most of the combos, Owlbert, abomination goo and palisman carving
- Tier 3 (thorium bars, fire, ice and void essence, and ink) unlocks Grand glyphs and the biggest spells
Staffs
Right click to swing your staff down and hop on, then fly around with WASD. Jump and crouch to go up and down, sprint to go faster, and left click for a big wing-beat dash. His wings flap, glide and lean into turns with you. Land or right click again to hop off.
Palismen
Carve your own palismen out of palistrom wood, wake it up with a Light glyph, and it'll bond with you.
- 11 forms to pick from: songbird, hawk, owl, bat, bee, cat, fox, serpent, chameleon, imp and manticore
- It follows you around and protects you, and backs off to heal when it gets hurt. It blinks, smiles and winces too!
- Each form gives you a perk, like no fall damage, faster running or taking less fire damage
- Paint it in six colours, or put it on a staff shaft and ride it!
- The show's palismen roam the forests too: Flapjack, Hawksley, Stringbean, Clover, Frewin and more. Win one over with a Bonding Charm!
Abominations
Right click the ground with a jar of Abomination Goo and an abomination climbs right out of it. It follows you around and fights whatever you're fighting, then melts back into goo after a few minutes. You can have up to three at once.
Installing
- Inside Hytale or the CurseForge app: install it here and turn it on for your world
- By hand: drop the
.jarinto your HytaleUserData/Modsfolder, then turn it on for your world - Servers: drop the
.jarinto the server'smodsfolder
If you're an operator, you can use testing commands I have left in like /glyphs kit, /glyphs combos, /glyphs dummy and /glyphs palismen to mess around and test things out!
Have fun with it! More things are coming soon!
