I know right she can see the most complicated glyph like a whole maze or something and some how she immediately remembers it like what I want good memory like that
Considering Eda's knowledge of "wild magic," many witches probably knew of or could see them before people like Emperor Belos came along. Witches appear to be able to naturally make glyphs (in the circles they make with their fingers), but the system they're in limits their view of the world around them, kinda literally.
So witches naturally draw those glyphs, the Boiling Isles is basically a bunch of naturally occurring glyphs, and our human protagonist can actually visualize them. This also might explain why Luz couldn't make magic in the human world: no glyphs.
Glyphs are magic of island Spells are magic of witch heart In human realm Luz has no source of power(Island) while Witches(Lily) still have their hearts
@@universesavior554 yeah nope! The island is the heart of magic. The human world has no magic. There's no way a glyph could work in it with no access of magic.
It’ll be a bummer if Luz goes back to Earth forgetting about the Glyphs she learned, it would be a big bummer and a waste of writing. Perhaps the Boiling Isles eventually becomes a part of her soul and Luz is able to do magic outside the Boiling Isles.
You ever notice how sometimes Luz draws the glyph with only the outside circle, but other times she draws it with another circle around that? Wonder why.
There is a theory that Luz Noceda is able to modify the glyph's effect by drawing it differently or with differences from how it should be done, which alters the glyph's spell
@@apollyon6855 yeah, in Dana's AMA she said we'd learn more about it in season 2. Maybe it's got something to do with the size of the spell? But then when Luz uses the light glyph with and without the extra circle it looks the same size, so I'm really not sure
@@heyitsdusk in fact the effect of the glyphs themselves seems to be modified by the will of Luz, since they never have the same use as when they first appeared.
I love how Luz is able to learn magic better than school lessons or high-class mentors. She learns it from the isles itself, which is made of the fallen Titan!
@Balance of The hill I mean, it's pretty obvious he forces the witches to join covens and only use one type of magic just to keep his power and control them.
That’s what I like about her character. She takes notice of things others would overlook . Like how some people aren’t what they appear to be at first . And I don’t have to name names . Or how Gwen was being scammed into hurting her own daughter with those useless magic volumes by those con artists.
Did anyone notice that when she discovers the fire glyph, she just hold a FIREball with her hand? Even the girl who launched before was making the ball float.
I think she'll learn to change and combine already existing glyphs! There's multiple examples of Luz changing a glyph such as, the sign she made for eda uses a different pattern of a light spell allowing them to merge and become lines instead of singular spheres, the ice spell being the same as the pattern in the snow but slightly different at the bottom, the fireworks in episode 1 showing a circular pattern similar to fire spells but with even more rounded triangles and more! Light spells also seem to have the same rounded triangles in fire spells, which leads me to think that a rounded triangle in a glyph makes something that emits a lot of energy in the form of light and heat
I'm hoping she'll start teaching Amity, and they'll discover a water glyph that Amity will use. That'd just be a cool Easter egg because Mae Whitman (Amity) voiced Katara in Avatar: The Last Airbender
but also not in a way that feels super formulaic or forced. In an 80s/90s cartoon, she would have learned a new glyph every episode as a way of exactly solving the conveniently specific problem-of-the-week.
0:57 does anyone just appreciate the frame by frame animation here? This is one of my favorite things in the show, during literally any special moment or breaking point in the series they make it as special as possible by animating the scene in a fluent way
3 most greatest mysterys of the world: 1. The Bermuda triangle 2. The Area 51 3. HOW THE HELL THAT LUZ CAN DRAW PERFECT CIRCLES ALL THE TIME WHEN SHE DRAWS GLYPHS LIKE HOWWWWWWW..............!!!!!!!!!
@@nalalog tho we already got a glimpse of Luz's magic skills when she briefly battled Belos, she still needs a way to integrate glyph magic with the witch's staff
Comicash1439 yeah i think so too because remember when she learned the light spell and she was trying to show king the glyph on her phone which was very hard to miss btw he did not see it
I'm surprised their are no covens for those that want to be elementalists. I mean Luz seems to be getting that down and elemental spells are what Eda used the most in the show.
What’s interesting about this is that these glyph spells Luz knows are basic to the witches. Like Amity said once, ‘A child could do a light spell’. These spells are supposed to be learned at a young age for witches. But Luz can’t make spell circles. So these, in a way, are advanced to her.
Luz has four spells as of season 1, let's hope in season two she learns more spells! Her current spells: -Light -Ice -Plant -Fire It's a shame the plant and fire ones weren't learnt in a span of a episode instead Luz just finds them/seeks them. But I guess we'll get more of these short findings of spells to save time and for the episodes to have different plots
Anybody else notice these 2 things? In the first episode the fireworks Luz uses make a pattern in the sky with a circle around them And the ice glyph she uses is slightly different at the bottom from the pattern that is shown on the snow Maybe editing the pattern gives a different result? The fireworks appear to be like multiple rounded triangles stemming from the middle instead of 2 rounded triangles on top of each other like in the fire glyph , suggesting that fireworks (with fire in the name!) are just a different version of the fire glyph that can be done with magic! And the sign she makes for eda using light glyphs are also slightly different! I'm thinking because of this that editing patterns in a glyph gives a different effect which is why her plant spells give the same effect when she draws it the exact same as other plant spells, but editing a light spell allows it to go in a line instead of a circle, and editing a snow spell allows it to turn into ice instead maybe water is just a variation of ice or snow and something such as those fireworks are a variation of fire and maybe even creating lava could be done from it who knows if combining spells is also a thing given the light spell appears to have something similar to the rounded triangle we see in the fire spell at the top, but with a rounder bottom! I feel like in season 3 or 4 she might find out that she can combine spells and edit them to get different results, a thing that people who don't realize it's just editing is just different magic
Monsters, magic, witches, and curses? Those things don't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is how she can draw a perfect circle on her every first try
light glyph represents the sun projecting light ice glyph represents an ice spike(maybe) flower glyph is obviously a flower and fire glyph is also obviously fire
I mean, she’s neurodivergent. Neurodivergent people have trouble picking up on social cues. But, they are EXTREMELY CREATIVE. That explains how she can draw the spells so well.
And also, there’s a lot going on in her life. She got transported to whole new world, almost saw her witch mother figure die, doesn’t know how to get back to the earth again, trying to learn magic. I don’t blame her for not focusing on a crush when all these other things are going on in her life.
Well it might not work because doesn’t the person have to touch it so if someone was going to do that they would have to probably put it on the front of the bullet
I wonder if she has some sort of system to remember them, like a cheat cheat. Maybe she draws the runes on a separate paper and adds a extra line to make it unusable to not randomly combust or something
You know I always thought that because she just remembers them to easily so i always thought she probably has like a spare one to copy down somewhere or something
So damn true she hasn’t even actually learned anything there just like normal school because every time she learns a new spell it’s always by accident or something not because of something school taught her
@@InfiniteowlUniverse so I think the first time she did the light glyph she was getting King’s attention, then when she realized thats what caused it she did it always
I've been replying to comments with this a lot but it's time I make my own about it I think that Luz can edit glyphs to get a different result, and that you can use different patterns that we've seen in glyphs to make ones. Having a rounded triangle is shown in things such as the fireworks in episode 1, the fire glyph and the light glyph making me think that a rounded triangle emits an excess amount of energy in the form of light and heat, and there might be other patterns we can see! We already know that editing a glyph gives a different effect because if you pay close attention, luz adds a diamond to the bottom of the snow glyph making it make ice instead of snow, and she changes up the light glyph when making the sign for eda, allowing it to connect with other light spells and make straight lines, instead of just forming singular balls of light. Every time that Luz makes a spell the exact same as another, she gets the same result, but when she changes up a spell a slight bit, it creates a different yet related effect. We see patterns in spells that appear in others, and 1 thing being in common between the 2 things with that pattern that aren't shown in other things. My thinking is, glyphs are made up of patterns. You add patterns together to make different glyphs, and you can add extra patterns to already known and existing glyphs to create new ones. Nature is repetitive and made of patterns, and glyphs, which appear in nature, are also repetitive and made of patterns. But we see that changing one thing in nature can give a different yet related result, and the same appears to apply to glyphs where adding one thing can make the same thing in a different form. But hey, that's just a theory, a film theory! Thanks for reading.
Could be the case but like how the hell would luz even figure out how to do that by accident or something she would have to be getting help from someone or something
I just now realized: It is a REALLY good thing that Luz is such a good artist, because of how it turned out that the way to do magic for her is with glyphs! Which requires DRAWING.
In all fairness, Luz is likely used to drawing a lot, so perfect circles may just come to her by practice and same with witches, in since their magic revolves around drawing circles. Witches probably learn how to draw those perfect circles over the course of their life.
This is an unpopular opinion, but I find it shallow that Luz can do magic though simple glyphs. She can create any magic from any substance by drawing a basic symbol, and the only limitation is having the intellegence to find glyphs. Magic is this setting should be way more complicated and difficult to replicate, with months or years of actual practice, unlike what Luz is doing, which has ultimately been messing around. It's too easy.
She also has to anticipate what glyphs she’s going to need, and if she guesses wrong because something unexpected happens or her pre-prepared glyphs get wrecked and she ends up in the midst of something too fast-paced (like a battle), she’d be out of luck unless she can find something to draw with and on and hide/bot get hit long enough to do so. Imagine you have your glyphs prepared for a normal day, but then your bag (which contains all your glyphs and writing instruments) is destroyed right when a huge, wild demon appears. The ground is stone, and there aren’t any plants around. Pretty much the only thing left to draw in would be blood, and that’s if you think of it (since you’ve never done something like that before), and the demon is attacking you, so will you even have time to somehow cut yourself AND draw the rune?
@@kayviolet9168 I think its more of it feels really weird that a natural witch and top student like Amity is shown to struggle learning spells while Luz just has to memorise the glyphs and draw them, and voila she can do them. It just feels like,, is magic hard or not hard?? It's quite misleading and feels a little off. Although there wass a comment about Luz having runic abilities because she is the only one who can see these glyphs naturally so maybe Luz really is something special. But you do have a point in that Luz still has a lot to learn in being strategic in real battles and also making her spells more powerful.
I agree with you to a certain extent, but let's look at this from a creator's perspective and a lore perspective. First off: Creator's. There's not that many episodes in a season, and this show is a Disney show. So Luz kinda has to learn magic somewhat quickly. That leads into the lore perspective: Luz only has the summer (about 3 months) in this realm, and she's already shown to be imaginative. I do agree that it is a bit strange though, but do you have an idea about how that problem could be fixed?
@@thestorycellertor That's a good point. Something they could do is law of equivalent exchane, with big runes for big magic, additional runes to sculpt the magic, and a delay for conversion if the rune is made on a different element than the magic being created. I figure the witches can direct what they want in their mind when they air circle runes, but Liz needs to be more specific without that innate talent.
I really like my personal headcanon in which she becomes a professor /coven leader that teaches Glyphomamcy/Runic Magic in the future, with the color being white as commemoration of her first spell.
The glyphs seem to consume the surfaces they're drawn on (to an extent) It didnt seem to get rid of Eda's wall, but paper and leaves it consumed into the light ball I wonder if theyll ever use that in a episode
Yeah because remember when luz made that sign with light glyphs it stayed there so she knows it works like that which means she can get a piece of wood or something and put a fire glyph on it for example and basically spam it
@@icelingbolt yeah but by that i mean like a blast and if she uses it too long then it burns the wood or the wood actually makes it stronger when it’s burned by the fire or something
You know, if she can just take a picture of everytime someone casts a spell and copy the glyphs, she can learn pretty much every spell in the Boiling Isle's.
My prediction is that she’ll use light spells to draw out glyphs without relying on something physical to write with. Would tie in with her light motif.
That wouldn’t make sense though, its a ball made for light, if she finds a way to manipulate the pattern sure, but she’ll end up wasting time making that glyph every encounter
