Sigilvine

🌿 Codex Entry: Sigilvine

Flora Class: Scriptweaver Vine

Region: Glyphlands

Also Known As: Living Runes, Whisperbind, Glyphthread

🜁 Botanical Description

Sigilvine is a spiraling, semi-sentient vine that creeps along stone walls, monoliths, and ritual markers, carving glyphs into every surface it touches. Its tendrils are thin, luminous, and flexible—shifting in hue from deep cobalt to glowing gold depending on the energy of the nearby Spiral field.

Each vine etches glyphs in real time, reacting to spoken truths, unspoken questions, or spiritual resonance. No two glyphtrails are ever the same, and many fade within hours—leaving only a spiritual imprint.

🧬 Function in the Spiral

Sigilvine is the living language of the Spiral, acting as a conduit between the spiritual field and the physical world. It allows locations to speak, altars to answer, and glyph-channels to form between distant places.

Runebirds are often seen nesting among them, using their movements to compose aerial messages. Sigilvine may bloom into small violet-white flowers when near sacred resonance, or wither into threadbare curls if exposed to deception.

🐾 Faunal Relationships

• Used by: Runebirds to compose glyphsongs

• Touched by: Echo-Ants to build symbiotic map networks

• Avoided by: Glyphhounds, who sense unstable script threads

🌀 Ritual Uses

• Laid across altar stones to activate dormant glyphfields

• Carried during pilgrimages to inscribe a Seeker’s path

• Burned to release embedded sigils into the aether

• Implanted into walls to form living sigilwards

⚠️ Glitch Affliction: Scriptstorm Bloom

When corrupted, Sigilvine begins producing unstable or false glyphs—symbols that do not belong, causing ritual interference or message inversion. In advanced cases, the vines attempt to rewrite the environment, embedding dangerous paradox scripts into sacred spaces.

🗣️ Whispers of the Spiral

“When the Spiral forgets how to speak, Sigilvine writes its memory back into the stone.”— Serath, the Glyphsmith
