A rune is a magical instruction, typically charged through a ritual, imbued onto an object, place, or person.

Rune alphabet

This entails a great deal of flexibility in the design, restricted only by the caster's magical power and knowledge in runewriting.

Runes

A rune is an instruction, written with charged, self-reliant mana, that carries out the desires of the forger as long as there is enough mana to sustain the law. Writing of runes is considered an art among Magi, with those knowledgeable in the field especially sought after. A great runewriter will expend very little mana and design runes that are empowered by outside forces, such as absorbing mana from the air to allow the runes to consistently recharge. The letters of runes are usually blue, but Azrael's runes were known to be green whereas the runes of Kraus are a pure white. Runes cannot be altered once they're written through any means other than Divine Magic - they can only be undone.

Ritual

A ritual is the gathering of mana to fuel a specific desire, usually used in conjuction with runewriting. For example, if a Magi desired an especially hard-to-crack rune spell, a ritual could be used to charge the letters. A typical to follow is to gather a team of Magi to pour their mana into the runes as they're written.

Sealing

A seal is typically used to restrict power of an object unless a specific objective is met or the rune is seal is undone. It is one of the most common uses of runewriting. A skilled runewriter is needed to be able to decipher the code and, if necessary, Magi will be required to pour an equal amount of magical put into forging the seal in the first place if it is to be removed.

Body Runes

Organic runes can drastically alter a living creatures natural capabilities, or act as either temporary or permanent limiters to the user's abilities much like an anti-magic collar. Using runes on a living thing typically entails an in-depth understanding of the recipients mana circuitry, as the runes themselves will interact with this extensively. Examples of runes on living creatures can be seen in Azrael's reika lines upon all oscuri. It is rumoured that Kraus has his own variants, most expected on Guardians in some form.

Tampering with runes on anything organic may have disastrous results if the practitioner has little experience, tests on small animals such as rabbits, mice, and frogs have resulted in said creatures spontaneously exploding, combustion, or imploding. It is therefore one of the rarest uses of rune magic and often one of the final steps towards mastery of the art.

Examples

Relics of Azrael

Many relics will only activate when used by an Oscuri. Their power is sealed unless met with a consistent flow of rieka.

Excalibur

It is sealed until it senses a danger of great proportions that could threaten Valmasia itself and beyond, only materializing to a person of "pure heart" if it deems the existing populace unable to deal with the threat.

Anti-Magic Collars

They are instructed to subdue the mana coming from the person that they're locked around. Depending on the potency of the collar, a Magi may be able to overpower and crack the rune through sheer force of will.

Almace

The Champion Sword cannot be worn by a ruler of men, nor can it be picked up by anyone other than the Champion. It will also return to a specific location if a Grand Tournament is announced.
