| 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.

BenignProphesy
| Syntax:

| FORETELL BENIGN PROPHESY
|
Power: 5 (Any)
Runes: Ur, nyd, and cen
|
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.

DeathProphesy
| Syntax:
|
| FORETELL DEATH PROPHESY ABOUT <person>
|
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 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.
Supersling
| Syntax:
|
| SUPERSLING <rune> AND <rune> AT <target>
|
| Power: 1 (Any)
|
You can sling 2 runes at once at your opponent.
