UGH! Wattpad was being a real pain with this chapter. Well, nothing was lost, so it's all good. Just needed to vent a bit. >:(

Ok, the long awaited (I think) graphics chapter is here! Yay!
First and foremost, I will introduce you to the map of Saphir Island. It's very amateur, and I've only created a very simplistic version of it (and I'm sure I'll need to expand on it), but it should give you a sense of the geography there. (Geography is my weakest point in worldbuilding, so much of the locations are still under construction. Not sure I'll ever be able to come up with a world map >.<)
I forgot to get rid of the grid lines when exporting it, but whatever. I used Inkarnate, which I'm sure you've seen other authors use to create maps. I'm honestly terrible at making maps, but I think this one came out okay. Still would rather draw one on my own instead of using assets that are built in, but I can't really complain.
Next, is a sort of diagram of how sigils work.
I hope you can read that. For those of you having trouble, refer to the descriptions below:
INSIGNIA (Leftmost square): Otherwise known as the CORE. User's symbol. Only the caster who designed the core can use the sigil. Corporate sigils, however, are activated by uthra batteries, allowing anyone to use their products using artificial uthra or allowing user's own uthra to be utilised.
RUNIC SYMBOLS (Upper Right): Symbols that enhance the use of elements. Each element has its own unique circle symbols, and they are typically repetitive over each quarter of the circle.
GLYPH (Bottom Right): Symbols that create the elements. Without glyphs, sigils would be useless.
That pic above would come out in some type of book about sigils or magic or something. Thought it would be fun to create a page of a book in the world. The person that sigil belongs to isn't really a character or anything. Just a random name that I thought would be interesting to use.
And now, a few pics of the sigils themselves.
And the colour they glow when activated:
^^^ Sorry about the blur of the words. The ordering is the same as the first, so you should be able to know which is which.
Finally, one of these is what the insignias of phantoms turn into in their third phase of transformation:
^^ Had fun making those.

Well, I'm kind of sad that I never got around to creating more graphics, but this stuff takes so much time, which I don't really have. Maybe I'll share a few sketches if I ever get around to brainstorming more visuals, but I haven't done anything artistic in a while now.
Anyway, this chapter should mark the official end of this book.
Thank you once again for reading! I love you guys. <3
*All graphics presented here have been created by me (except for the lion insignia, which I got off the internet).*
