The sign of the Scion Queen Mother can be reinforced up to 7-fold, with each level of reinforcement taking 8 strokes to draw. With a [[Engraving#Speed|fast engraving]] tool each reinforcement takes 1 turn, or 8 turns with a slow engraving tool. It gains no secondary effects at higher levels of reinforcement.
