@BlivetWidget Have you thought of putting together these for all the PHB spells and selling as PDF in DMs Guild?
These would make great handouts.
Thanks! It's not entirely out of the question, but it would require a different approach to what I'm doing now to be any kind of sensible for that number of spells. I automated the generation of linear spellscript (which is all I generally use), but I currently use PowerPoint with shapes and textboxes to get the 2D forms. Most automated ways of working with text don't support working with text boxes, unfortunately. I could potentially teach myself some pyautogui to get it done. But I think the most familiar approach would just be to use Pillow, though I would likely need to do a bit of fiddling to figure out exactly where all the rotated text bits go to line them up with the hexagram. Certainly doable in a day if I put my mind to it, I think.
But I'm not sure there would really be much demand for this level of intricacy. I think most people are less interested in a treatise on "fantasy chemistry" (currently I have about 25 pages of theory and diagrams to explain the system, though it could perhaps be distilled down to maybe 5 essential charts) and they would prefer to simply be told that a handful of completely random glyphs represent incredible arcane powers beyond their understanding.
In other words, I think most people are more interested in the "art" of playing wizard than the "science" of thinking like one.
