Shining | If line were passing through circle and two more lines emerge, it is likely shining/reflective/gleaming | Pretty much a 1 to 1 corrispondance to in game particle effects for shiny relics Wall 1 (L1) suggests that light on metal creates this glyph.

Wall 3 the most/greates of this glyph is considered to be a trap fo the body and spirit. it being beauty could sugges that the shallowness of chasing extreme beauty is nothing more than a trap.
