Plenty, actually. It's not a skill everyone has. My uncles for example, were hunters, men who culled the land of dangerous beasts and abominations. One was a very talented magician, while the other hadn't a drop of magical energy at his command. It was the latter who was the better glyphcrafter of the two, however. And he was a fine warrior.
