Notes

This blazon was something I put together to represent a group of wizards in a fiction I'm writing. The goal was to figure out how to split a charge in to two colors and have eight symbols representing the schools of magic around that. I'm quite happy with how this one turned out. I've learned a lot about how this site works from making this flag. Originally I was planning to have a Penrose Triangle at the center in place of the mascle, however, when I used per pale to split it in half, it did not split evenly (which threw off the symmetry of the background).

If you would like to modify this blazon and see the effects Show on Create Page .
