Rune Signal Clothing

A staple product of the Creators Guild, Rune Signal Clothing appear to be normal clothing at first glance, but what sets them apart are the enchantments placed on them. When the person wearing a Rune Signal garment speaks a command word, a hidden message or symbol that was placed on the garment during its creation glows and becomes visible. There are some people who seek Rune Signal garments enchanted with complicated and intricate designs as fashion statements or shows of wealth, as they can be made to be quite beautiful and there is a wide degree of quality in Rune Signal Clothing. For instance, cloaks that can project images of the night sky or dresses that can take on the appearances of winding vines and flowers.
However, although these extravagant examples of Rune Signal Clothing exist, they are not the most common forms that they come in. Plain garments are actually incredibly plentiful and cheap to come by, as the basic enchantment is quite simple and inexpensive, to the extent that it is used as a training exercise for new apprentices in the Creators Guild. And because of their prevalence and discrete nature without the command word to activate the enchantment, it is actually very common to find people in possession of Rune Signal Clothing that they bought second hand or scavenged without them even realizing that they're special. Someone with the proper training and time can detect the magic on a garment and in some cases even reverse engineer the command word, but it is very rarely worth it.
Rune Signal Clothing's discrete appearance has actually made them very common symbols of membership for secretive groups, such as the Church of Lezheng, as their members can use them to communicate their allegiance to each other when necessary without drawing unwanted attention. If a group has a single member or ex-member of the Creators Guild, they could easily provide hundreds of members with secret symbols.
