    So I've been playing as Shanoa for little under 2 hours and still haven't gotten any new glyphs.  Does anyone know how to capture any?  Right now my fire spell is at level 3, about half way to four.

    There are Green Skeletons on level 5 which you can get a beam spell from, and there's a glowing witch that levitates around who casts two more spells you can get. That is all the spells you can get far as I know. I've heard that there are some weapons to be found, but I dunno where to find them. 
     
    Oh, also, the spells seem weaker than the fireball or at least level with them. 
     
    I just looked into it. Apparently weapons are only dropped by bosses. Fucking great. I have to grind bosses to get any fucking progression out of one of the best characters in the goddamn series.

    @TheMasterDS: Are you serious? Gah, that's damn disappointing...
     
    @dvdhaus: Yeah, you have to wait for certain enemies to start casting their magic and a little, usually triangular, glyph comes out. You only have a second to react by pushing the up button or stick. Once you do so you'll absorb the spell and all you need to do is use it to level it up!
     
    The lightning spell is insanely powerful as it homes in on targets automatically. Level that sucker up and watch enemies literally disintegrate before you.

    @infestedandy: Actually, I've gotten a feel for Shanoa now that I've put two rings which boost MP recovery on her. Means I can spam lightning, which is a load of fun. Plus I like how fast she can attack with her swords.

    @LiQuid3600: Dunno, I just was looking through my inventory and came across them. Equipped both, didn't look back. Dunno if they stack, but everything else does so I don't see why it wouldn't. To tell you what they were I'd have to turn on my 360 and boot up the game so I'll get back to you on that if you can find out if you have them yourself.

    Found them!!  They're called Sage Rings.  I didn't even realize I had two of them too!  Guess I need to pay closer attention to those item descriptions and not just the stats!

    @Bahamutduo:  Level four. Those same witches from which you get the Ice blast spell.  The ones that are floating in the "white starbursts"  And also in the later levels from the green skeletons you can get that purple beam.
