Question about Technomancer Props Poses and Expressions

Ok, probably no one else cares about this, but I'm really curious:  The lettering on the "shield" magic, does it mean anything?  I'll probably get this either way, but I don't like to use stuff that I don't know what it says.  If I can't find out, I just won't use the shield ones.

BTW, this looks like an awesome product, the props are perfect, the poses are really nice and the expressions are a great bonus!

    Oh, are you Skyewolf?  Cool, I never realized that!  I get so confused when vendors have different forum names, but then again I'm very easily confused :P

    Thanks!

    I am not!... The reason that it is gibberish is that it isn't a real alphabet.  I do have an interest in linquistics and you will note that the script doesn't follow the rules of the way words are constructed...

    Oops, so sorry!  Like I said, I'm easily confused X(

    I didn't even realize you could tell that about language, that's pretty cool!  Linguistics must be a really interesting study, you never run out of study material, I suppose.

    Thanks for your help!

    If you look at the text, you will notice that there are no articles (or "atoms" or their equivalents), there doesn't seem to be any patterns for vowels and consonants, there is no beginning or end or even indication of what direction the text is read, and the font is evocative but either missing loads of letters (try to write a coherent sentence using only 4 or 5 letters.... "Oz Zoo adds odds".... it is very hard to make anything make sense with so many repetitive letters.

    I too would like to know what the "lettering" is and where it came from.

    It is a cuniform font like these https://www.fontspace.com/category/cuneiform  They are pretty easy to find and buy.  The shapes are based on gouges in clay.

    It looks a lot like the "draconic dragon fonts" you can find if you google.  There are a lot of variations out there.

    Honestly it's been so long since I finished it. I can tell you that yes it is either complete giberish or a variation of the Lorem Ipsum text :) But, as has been said, because it is a made up font that basically just "looks cool" it is complete gibberish. :D

    +1 I make it a point to not purchase anything with text on it that I can't read or at least translate - you never know where some of the text comes from or what it might say, so, for me, I'm always going to be cautious. I'm happy to learn that it's a made-up font that is just gibberish.
