Latest revision as of 21:09, 8 June 2024

For those trained for it, inscribing ancient runes upon specially prepared casting stones, imbues them with great power. If you have the skill, you must find an artist to supply you with blank rune stones and tinctures, and INSCRIBE <stone> with <rune>. If you are wielding a sling, you simply SLING <rune> AT <target>, which will place that person under the aegis of the particular rune. Masters of the Runes are also able to read the runes when cast and foretell prophecies of the future, subtly influencing the threads of fate.

Runes can also be placed onto statues by master enchanters or on great totems by highly skilled druids.

SLING <rune> AT <target>

If you are wielding a sling, you can sling a rune at an opponent.

INSCRIBE [number] RUNE WITH <rune>

With this ability, you may inscribe blank rune stones with the various runes you know.

Additional Notes:
Anyone can learn to make their own blank runestones with Arts.

Effect: Afflicts with addiction.


Nyd

Tinctures: blue 1

Effect: Afflicts with sensitivity.


Runebags

Syntax
INRB <number> <rune>

INRB EVERYTHING
OUTRB <number> <rune>
RBL

Runebags is the ability to utilise the magical bags especially made for runes. When you have a runebag, you can see what it contains by probing it. INRB (for INRUNEBAG) <rune> will put a rune in the pack and OUTRB <rune> will take it out again. You may INRB and OUTRB up to 50 runes at once by doing INRB 50 NYD, or OUTRB 50 NYD for instance.

Effect: 1/8 health buff

The Masters of the Runes are prophets and seers, able not only to foretell what the future may bring by reading the runes, but also to subtly intercede on behalf of their own interests in the Great Tapestry of Fate. Though only capable of the gentlest of plucks upon the weft of destiny, even the tiniest of reverberations may eventually evoke great change.

A benign prophesy is the simplest of prophesies, foretelling good fortune upon you and your allies, who will be able to withstand more as their maximum health increases.

A random fused rune will strike all of your enemies on a regular basis, even if they are flying or hiding in the trees.

You can also remove the rune from your demesne and return it to your inventory by defusing.

Power: 3 (Any)

Runes: Rad, haegl, sigil, feoh, manna and lagu

The direst of prophesies is to see the death of another. Once the prophesy has been spoken, images of the runes of power will appear to your enlightened mind - the omens of the death to come. The last of these omens is always the othala rune, which heralds that death has come. If at least three of these runes strike the target as you have foreseen, the destiny you seek shall come to pass.

However, if the runes prove false and fail to find their victim, or the victim no longer has the ailments of the runes when the othala rune strikes, so too shall your prophesy ring hollow.
