Rithmatics is a magic system that uses chalk.
Rithmatic Lines
Line of Warding
Line of Forbiddance
Straight lines that project a vertical wall.
It takes four seconds to dismiss a line of Forbbiddance.
Line of Vigor
Wave lines that can affect Rithmatics but not solid matter
They are primarily offensive.
Line of Making
Lines of Making are used to animate drawings, known as Chalklings.
Chalklings drawn with the Line Of Making cannot interact with the three-dimensional world unless the Rithmatist adds the Glyph of Rending to its instructions.
Line of Silencing
Line of Revocation
Rithmatic Schools

Rithmatic Defenses
Two-Point Circles
Four-Point Circles
- Ballintain Defense
- A basic and easy to set up defense, that however lacks much internal support.Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content This defense features two Lines of Forbiddance, each connecting two adjacent bind points. There are also two circular Lines of Warding at two of the bindpoints opposite of each other. Finally there is a defensive chalkling bound to one of the remaining bindpoints. A popular defense based on the four-point circle, it is ideal for more offensive Rithmatists.[1] - Sumsion Defense
Six-Point Circles
The six-point circle has bindpoints based on a regular hexagon whose vertices are equidistant around the circle's circumference. While it is difficult to determine where the bindpoints are without actually seeing the hexagon, Rithmatists are taught how to intuit their positions. Six-point circles have a greater inherent verstatility and defensibility that two- and four-point circles lack.[2]
- Eskridge Defense
- Matson Defense
- A defense that relies heavily on defensive chalklings.Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content
Nine-Point Circles
- Easton Defense
- A defense that is suited for multiple opponents. It has circular Lines of Warding at each of its bindpoints and and Lines of Forbiddance that form a nine-sided figure with three lines missing which act as support for the mine circle. Drawbacks to the defense are the difficulty of nine-point circles and the restriction created by the Lines of Forbiddance. There are a number of variations on this defense, such as adding defensive chalklings to the outer circles.[3]
- Hill Defense
- A defense that uses Lines of Forbidding, though it can be modified to work without them.Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content - Shoaff Defense
- Taylor Defense
- A defense characterized by a pair of concentric, circular Lines of Warding.Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content
Ellipses
- Jordan Defense
- A defense characterized by the large cage of Lines of Forbiddance drawn around it. Large numbers of offensive chalklings are drawn inside the cage and are released in waves by dismissing the front Line of Forbiddance, which is then redrawn after the chalklings have moved forward.Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content - Osborn Defense
- The only basic defense based off of an ellipse.Cite error: Invalid

Unknown Configuration
- Blad Defense
- A defense that uses Lines of Warding "non-traditionally"Cite error: Invalid
<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content by combining four ellipsoid segments. The configuration is strong enough that some believe it should be banned from official competitions such as duels and the Melee.Cite error: Invalid<ref>tag; refs with no name must have content - Keblin Defense
- A defense that is weak against the Easton Defense in most cases.Cite error: Invalid

- A defense with a "convoluted history".Cite error: Invalid
