The reason for this is unknown.{{book ref|Rithmatist|9}} The shape of a chalkling has a significant amount of influence on its abilities. A knight, for example, is strongest when attached to a bindpoint whereas a creature with long teeth and claws is better at attacking. Likewise an amphorus blob can take a number of hits from Lines of Vigor but moves slowly whereas a creature with many legs can move quickly but isn't as strong when attacking.{{ref|name=chalklingtypes}} Binding a chalkling to a defense strengthens it (pg. 133).{{cite}} Chalklings can be difficult to outrun and do not get tired (pg. 138).{{cite}} |

+ | ;Glyph of Rending: Allows a chalkling to interact with objects not made of chalk.{{book ref|Rithmatist|8}} This glyph is not taught until the Rithmatist arrives in Nebrask for their final year of training. This glyph is very dangerous and also very useful. A Rithmatist with the glyph can easily kill people. But it also comes with great economic value: chalklings can provide near-endless mechanical power for industries, which make Rithmatists quite a profitable proffesion. |
