Glyph Mage

Glyph mages are wizards that have studied the language of magic and its inherent power and found that there are certain magical symbols that contain hidden power, with enough study, creativity and magical energy this hidden power can be harnessed by the wizard.

Hidden Arcana

Your studies have granted you a higher understanding of the language of magic, you gain a Glyph Journal and choose three magical glyphs from the list provided to add to your Glyph Journal, as you gain levels you can learn additional glyphs, you learn another glyph at level 6, 10, 14, whenever you complete a long rest you may replace one of the glyphs from your journal with a different one from the list. With enough study you can also create new glyphs, the cost of creating these new glyphs is up to the dm's discretion, glyphs created this way do not count against your maximum number of glyphs.

Glyph of Distortion

When you first activate this glyph and at the start of each of your turns while this glyph is active, your form distorts and wavers, creating a duplicate to confuse your foes. Each time a creature targets you with an attack while you have a duplicate, roll a D20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. If you have 2 duplicates you must roll an 8 or higher, with one duplicate you must roll an 11 or higher. You can have no more then two duplicates active at any one time

A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects.
