Arcane Glyphcode is another cipher developed within the church of Oghma to help protect texts that contain information deemed dangerous or requiring restrictive access. Substition Ciphers can eventually be guessed, and an insistent reader may eventually figured out letters are re-arranged and break the cipher. But the Arcane Glyphcode uses a key and grid of letters instead.

To use, the code to gain access to a secure place of entry is formed into the locking device. Then, a key is formed. That key is used against the grid to convert that code into an encrypted message. The key can be used to also decrypt the message. Because the key must be known, so long as it is not given out to those who do not need to know, it is superior to a substitution cipher.

The grid used against the key is below:
