ENGRAVING:
Along with your free text engraving, you can add the following cool options:

1. POMMEL DEEP-ENGRAVING: We'll deep-engrave one of our sigils or your custom graphic into the pommel. See #6 below for more on Custom Graphics. Select a variation with "Pommel Engraving" or "Pommel" in it.

2. LIGHTSTORM Deep Engraving: Mantra Immortal uses high-powered lasers to burn away the metal around your text. Yeah, lasers! I know right? Our lasers also create intricate patterns around the text, adding depth, elegance and stimulating contrast. The result? Gorgeous engravings that make any gift look like an heirloom. LIGHTSTORM™ comes with a free frame around your text.

3. GLOWING TEXT (new!): Mantra Immortal has developed a proprietary technique to create deals powerfully glowing text-engravings that are rugged and long lasting. Glowing lasts up to one hour with a full charge from UV light or a blacklight. Custom text should be no longer than *50 characters*. The less text, the larger and more glowy we can make it. Tell us which color you want in the personalization box. If you want us to engrave runes/sigils, select a 'runes' variation and send us a graphic of the runes. Please see the details on "Custom Graphics" below for information about sending us files. Select a "Glow" variation for this option.

4. FRAME/DIVIDER: A Frame of Divider around your text. Just select a variation with "Frame" in it. Pick your frame/divider from the product images and let us know which one you want in the personalization box.

5. SIGIL IMAGES. We'll engrave one of our sigil graphics onto most of our items. See the product images for our sigil graphic choices. Pick one, then select a "sigil" variation. Tell us which sigil you want in the personalization box.

6. CUSTOM GRAPHICS: Yup. We'll engrave your image, logo, symbol, fingerprint, dental x-rays--pretty much whatever you want as long as it isn't horrifically offensive, illegal, or risks our business to engrave it. Just pick a "custom graphic" (sometimes it's just "custom" (damn space limitations on variations)) and send us the graphic you want. By sending the graphic, you acknowledge that you have the rights to reproduce the image. Want your custom image to glow, too? Place your order then contact us and we can add the extra cost based on the graphic. Typically $20-$50 additional. If you send us a professional sports team's logo, or a Marvel movie property image, or anything like that, we may ask you to certify that you have the rights to the image. Images should be as hi-res as possible and easy to see. If we need to clean up the image, we may contact you and ask you to pay a $25 clean-up fee. You can send images through Etsy messaging if they are standard web graphics, or you can send any type of image by email to: mantraimmortal [!at] gmail.com.

ENGRAVING TIPS**********************************

STANDARD ENGRAVING:
WIth this method, the engraving is etched into the metal, then finished with a blackening process for maximum contrast. Looks great and doesn't cost much.

LIGHTSTORM™ DEEP ENGRAVING:
This is an exclusive Mantra Immortal technique that turns metal into art! The text or image is raised, with an engraved pattern background, all set within a frame. If you select this style (lucky you!) then we suggest placing the most important words in the frame (maximum of seven or eight words, really) and adding the remainder of the text along the bottom or top (or both) in standard engraving.

GENERAL ENGRAVING TIPS:
1. If you have a lot of text, try to choose a font that isn't too fancy. Fancier fonts are great for titles or short engravings, but they can be hard to read in bulk. Ever try to read four lines of text in “Season of the Witch?” It's what aneurysms are made of.

2. If you're using a fancier font, for the love of all that is holy, please don't capitalize every letter! Old English is a lovely font, but it looks awful in all caps. Seriously. We have actual nightmares of all-capital Old English chasing us around a haunted house with Comic Sans cheering it on.

3. If you're using more than one font, take a good look at them to make sure they will look okay together. You can specify to us that you would like one line bold and another not bold, or make one line bigger than the other. That's often a more efficient way to create contrast in your engraving.

4. Remember, the more text you have, the smaller that text has to be. Not that there's anything wrong with small text, but if you want text that is readable from a distance, try to limit the length of your engraving.

5. Not sure how to set up your engraving? No worries! Just give us your text, pick a font if you want, and tell us to have at it! We'll use our thirty years of graphic design experience to create the most aesthetically pleasing engraving possible.
