The games I'm involved in rarely get detailed enough for the DM to actually bother to draw arcane symbols on a map or whatever. And when they do, I'm sure the DM just makes them up. But for all I know, the DM could have gone out and researched some historically used arcane symbols. I wouldn't know the difference. And I wouldn't care. I guess you must believe they have some power, or you wouldn't be so concerned about it. I thought only Satanists thought satanist symbols had any real power.
