| Crippling Headshot | Generally speaking, putting one in the head is always good advice, but it's even better advice now. |
| Frenzy | Hopefully this'll give you the edge to survive, but if it doesn't you're gonna go down swinging! |
| Glass Cannon | High risk, high reward. |
| Lucky Shot | They say a little luck never hurt anyone, but in this case it's gonna do some serious damage amirite? |
| Spiritual Overflow | Your abilities are about to go to the next level! |
| You're about to make some magic happen my friend! | |
| Ricochet | You are gonna be shooting things that you never even knew existed! |
| Silencer | This bad boy was developed to stop possessed mystics. |
| Siphon Bullets | Allow me to provide the answer to the age old question, what if Oathkeeper was a gun? |
| Colossus | Objectively speaking, turning into a giant punching machine is a thing of beauty |
| Inhibitor | If you're looking to cripple your enemy do I have the thing for you! |
| Leech | Ho-ho-ho my friend, you just upped your survivability by at least 30%! |
| Phantom Strike | You're gonna be bouncing around that battlefield like... something that bounces around a battlefield! |

| Cursed Relic | I see you're looking to put someone on tilt! |
| Diviner's Kevlar | If I were channelling a mystic ritual, this is the only armour I'd buy. |
| Now, If I was (hypothetically) trying to summon an elder god in a convoluted attempt to make my dreams a reality, that right there is the armour I'd buy. | |
| Echo Shard | The Echo Shard. My personal favourite, for when I'm looking to cause degenerate mayhem. |
| Escalating Exposure | Now this isn't as flashy as some of the glyphs I sell but when it comes to raw power, you can't do much better. |
| Magic Carpet | Fastest way to get around a city, guaranteed. Well not an actual guarantee-you leave the shop with this, all sales are final. |
| Mystic Reverb | He-he-You are going to leave a lasting impression my friend! |
| Refresher | Just when your enemies think you are out of tricks, BAM you use them again! |
