Leaving them as normal Power Glyphs would probably be the least confusing thing to do for a new player, since if they start collecting things like Malliddon's Prophecy and get random red glyphs, they'll work exactly the same as expected.
That said, I am tempted to do something small and distinct here to justify why these glyphs
are different, and perhaps paint a stronger theme for the set as a whole. Tying them into the Pillars of Hár as strange relics in the Sea of Sand could be fun, for instance. To that end, I think that dropping the "figures must stop moving when stepping on a Power Glyph" restriction would be an easy change, but I'm curious to see if anyone has a stronger and more appealing idea. This one really only benefits this glyph if we take it that certain route--the other glyphs would be mostly unaffected by the change.
Another idea from a few years back was to limit these glyphs' effects to something like 6 clear sight spaces to prevent blanket boosts like for the Power Glyphs, but we decided against that originally because it would heavily favor range.
