Inscryption Sigils
Sigils are card abilities. Airborne bypasses ground blockers, Mighty Leap intercepts flying attackers, Many Lives permits repeated sacrifices, and Repulsive prevents enemies from attacking its bearer. The table identifies the Acts in which each ability appears. “Shield” and “Stop” are search phrases rather than exact sigil names in this index.
Sigil reference by Act
Filter by the printed name, an effect word or an Act, then sort the result to compare related abilities. A name can appear in several Acts while its card art changes. The Act column records the public wiki’s rulebook lists for the three main Acts and the extra Kaycee’s Mod abilities. Kaycee’s Mod also uses the Act I set, with balance changes such as Fecundity copies losing the cloning sigil. Finale-only and unused internal abilities are outside this playable-Acts table.
Movement, defense and targeting are separate decisions. Waterborne avoids the incoming strike by letting it reach your scale; it is not a normal blocker. Repulsive stops a creature from attempting the attack, while Mighty Leap answers Airborne specifically. Many Lives describes surviving a sacrifice. Child 13 has its own transformation behavior, which should not be substituted for the general Many Lives rule.
Printed abilities also interact with the board. Bifurcated Strike reaches diagonally, Trifurcated Strike adds the central lane, and Double Strike repeats the central attack. Conduit bonuses need a completed circuit. Activated abilities spend the resource stated in their row, so a strong effect can still be unusable if your current bones, energy or gems do not support it. The summaries are designed for quick lookup; card-specific exceptions belong in the linked detailed card guides.

Shield and Stop searches
Nano Armor prevents an initial damage instance; Shield Latch grants Nano Armor when its bearer dies. Those are useful candidates for a shield-shaped icon, but a search term alone does not establish which card you are looking at. No exact Stop entry appears in this index. Keep the printed card name or a screenshot of the symbol when comparing it to these candidates.
FAQ
What is the shield sigil?
No exact match. Nano Armor and Shield Latch are candidates. I am not pinning the search to one of them.
What is the stop sigil?
There is no sigil by that name in the index I used.
