Version history

Patch	Changes
January 13, 2026	This trait no longer grants resistance when using a glyph and instead grants resistance when attuning to air. The resistance duration is decreased when the Fresh Air trait is also equipped.
June 27, 2023	This trait no longer reduces the cooldown of glyph skills, and it now always grants resistance in addition to its previous effects.
February 25, 2020	Competitive content update: (Competitive split) Reduced might duration from 10 seconds to 6 seconds. Increased might stacks from 1 to 3. Reduced regeneration duration from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.
July 26, 2016	Fixed a bug in which Glyph of Elemental Harmony and Glyph of Elemental Power had incorrect cooldowns when affected by traits. Normalized the skill facts so they do not display duplicate or irrelevant boon values.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Updated this trait to reflect the introduction of the specialization mechanic. Quick Glyphs has been merged into this trait. Glyph skill recharges are reduced by 20%.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Inscription has been added to the game.
