I see no reason to try invent some stupid and no-good symbols like "the symbol of stroking a cat" :).. instead the symbols should be few and in balance.. that means that each symbol must have equal sphere of influence.. now is "energy" and "stroke a cat" symbols in balance? surely not.. but "energy" and "matter" could be much more. spells are the easy part imho.. symbols build up everything. -m
