If they were glyphs, what would they cost?

Part of the trouble is that mana doesn't scale as much as other things... But that's probably why these glyphs aren't canon, anyway:

Burninate - Applies one Burn stack. (Cost: 2?)

Burninator - Set all visible monsters to maximum burn stacks. (Cost: 10? 12? Unbalanceable?)

Corrode - Applies one level of Corrosion. (Cost: 8?)

Weaken - Applies one level of Weakness. (Cost: 3-4?)

Mana Burn - Magical Strike enemy does 50% damage and the damage is physical. Lasts for one hit. (Cost: 5?)

Curse - Applies a stack of Curse to an enemy. A Cursed enemy has half of its usual resistances, lasting for one hit per Curse stack. (Cost: 6?)

Study - +1 XP. (Cost: 5?)

Pray - +1 Piety (Cost: 3?)

Convert the Aether - +5 CP (Cost: 10?)

With weakening the problem is that it makes A lot of Hp bosses (horatio) easier over time till they are really easy it would need a cap like 15.

The study glyph sounds really spamebale make it 7 mana.

The curse and mana burn glyph should be potions. a berseker or rogue would benefit to much.

Burninator is way to good in any case having the burning stacks alredy on them save you so much exploration.

I think the corrode glyph should be cheaper like 6 mana

I have also some ideas:

Stun: makes the enemy stuned not being able to attack for one turn the enemy get temporary 75% resitances and after being stuned it deals 150% damage for one turn the glyph costs 8 mana and cannot be used on the same enemy again

Alchemysing: Yousing this Glyph over a bloodpool consumes the bloodpool and 10xp and creates a Strenght potion.
The glyph cost 12 mana

I didn't really think any of these were especially good ideas, but I wanted to thought experiment on what 1 mana is "worth". Some of the XP/piety/CP generators could be good for attaining last-minute thresholds, but pushing more spam-worthy glyphs out of circulation would suck.
