Time for another spell teaser for Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s upcoming Cleric hero! This time it’s the Cleric’s version of a ‘scroll use’ talent: Recall Glyph.
This tier 2 talent/spell lets the Cleric expend some holy tome charges to recreate the effect of their most recently used scroll or runestone. This is a really flexible spell, with almost 40 different items you can duplicate. You can deal extra damage with some items (like in the GIF), or get multiple uses out of adventuring tools like scrolls of magic mapping or identify. Naturally, some items are more expensive to recall than others, and scrolls of upgrade in particular can’t be used with this spell.
(Image Description: A short GIF demonstrating the recall glyph spell. The cleric first throws am explosive runestone of blast at two enemies, then as they approach they cast the spell and can throw a reproduced version of the stone again.)

The game also uses ‘inscribe’ for rogue and mage talents, which is the same term it uses for applying stylii glyphs to armor. Your point is fair but I don’t think mixing terms for ability names like this is a big issue.
This looks great! As the other commenter said though, the term ‘glyph’ already refers to other things, and ‘rune’ might make more sense. Any idea when we might expect a beta for this update?
The estimate I gave in the last blog post is still fairly accurate: “around mid to late December, just before the holiday season”
The most excellent early Christmas gift!
Recall Rune makes more sense, true.
with metamorphed scroll-use talents, can you double trigger them using this? very excited to try this out when it launches!
Unfortunately no, those talents only trigger when a scroll or spell is actually used, not when something else triggers a scroll effect.
Woah, this is awesome :O
Does this always remembers the last spell used? Or do we need to constantly use scrolls or runestones?
Like for example could I cast a single stone of blast and cast the spell twice to use three stone of blasts
One cast per real item I’m afraid.
Yeah, honestly, that’s fair
What do you mean real item? Like, I’m assuming a consumable, but I don’t know what else is there besides consumables
I’m assuming it means that you can’t copy casts from Unstable Spellbook, which aren’t “real” scrolls. Makes sense, since “Inscribed” talents work the same way (right now).
Oh, that makes sense, I understand
