;Go: An arrow pointing in the
;Attack: An "X" shape.
;Wait: A horizontal line
;Turn: An acute angle with an arrow pointing in the direction of the turn.{{ref|name=instructingchalklings}}
;Defend: A diamond shape, it instructs bound chalklings to patrol the area around the bindpoint they are tethered to and attack any chalkling not bound to the same circle as it.{{ref|name=bindingchalklings
;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. While this glyph can be dangerous (by allowing chalklings to attack people), it can also be used for more productive means. Chalklings with the Glyph of Rending can be used to provide free energy; Rithmatists are frequently employed by [[Springrail]] companies to use chalklings to wind the large spools of springs used to power the Springrails (an arrangement that is quite profitable for the Rithmatists).{{book ref|Rithmatist|13}}
