==Rithmatic Lines==

===Line of Warding===

The strength of a Line of Warding is determined by its evenness and its curvature. The steeper the curve, the stronger the line. This is a moot point in circles as their curvature is equal around its entirety. In ellipses however the strength is variable; peaking at its bindpoints and reaching its lowest point on the sides.{{ref|name=linestrengths|Line Strengths Illustration}}

 

===Line of Forbiddance===

Lines of Forbiddance are a defensive line that projects an impenetrable plane perpendicular to the surface it is drawn on. Not even the Rithmatist who drew it is able to cross it.{{ref|name=linesofforbiddance|Lines of Forbiddance Illustration}} The strength of a Line of Forbiddance is determined by its straightness; the straighter the line is, the stronger it is. The line's thickness determines the height of the plane it produces.{{ref|name=linestrengths}} A well-drawn Line of Forbiddance can stop bullets and, in some cases, cannonballs.{{ref|b|rith|c|15}}

 

 

===Line of Vigor===

Lines of Vigor are one of the main offensive Rithmatic lines. It is drawn in the shape of a sine wave, from the outside in. As long as it completes two intervals it will shoot out until it reaches an obstacle. Most chalklings are easily destroyed by Lines of Vigor. If it reaches a Line of Warding it will create a pockmark, if enough hit the same point than the line could be breached.{{ref|name=linesofvigorpartone|Lines of Vigor Part One: Basic Usage Illustration}} Lines of Vigor reflect off of Lines of Forbiddance.{{ref|name=bouncingvigor|Bouncing Lines of Vigor Illustration}} The strength of a Line of Vigor is based on how large the curve of their wave is.{{clarify|(either amplitude or frequency)}}{{ref|name=linestrengths}}

 

 

Chalklings made with a Line of Making are unable to affect anything that isn't made of chalk unless the Glyph of Rending is added to their instructions.{{ref|b|rith|c|8}}
