Symbol Drawing (Contemplation of the All) - the name is translated from an old Halfling tongue - is the only native Symbol Drawing style from Loren'dil that is known to be practiced on Yrth. The style deals primarily with intangibles, and often seems less like magic, and more like a religious observance, especially when it is cast ceremonially. That doesn't mean that it is not immediately dangerous, though, merely subtle.

Nouns

Chance (Fate) - Average - 2
Conflict - Average - 2
Dream (Story) - Easy - 1
Emotion - Average - 2
Habit (Instinct) - Easy - 1
Home (Family) - Easy - 1
Journey - Average - 2
Mana - Hard - 2
Memory (Knowledge/Skill) - Average - 2
Society - Average - 2
Spirit - Hard - 2
Thought - Average - 2

Verbs

Communicate - Average - 1
Control - Hard - 2
Protect (Hide) - Average - 2
Sense - Easy - 1
Strengthen - Average - 2
Weaken - Average - 2
Transform - Hard - 2

This style is quite common among those halflings who use magic, is often seen among giants, and is not too odd to be learned by centaurs. It is growing to be common among gnomes and some humans and elves, but not so much among the other races. Dwarves and most reptile men rarely know that it exists.
