Requirement: N/a
Rules: One Use Only, the bearer can send out a flash of runic
light forming as a glowing rune in the sky for a minute. Multiple
runes give further uses of the Rune of Signalling.
RUNE OF COMMUNICATION
A rune pair that seeks each other. A way to find a path back.
Requirement: Must be inscribed on two items, these will be
linked.
Rules: This rune may be inscribed on any two objects. Each ob
- ject must be created separately, one directly after the other.
One object is the seeker, the otber the target. Anyone hold• ing
the seeker will immediately know the direction and general
distance of tbe target, as long as it is within 1 mile. The rune
could, for instance, be inscribed on a sword and its sheatb, so
that a warrior would know the location of a lost weapon. Altema-
tively, it could be inscribed on two small coins, and one given to
someone who the owner of the other coin wanted to follow. lf
inscribed temporarily, the runes last until dawn of the following
day.
RUNE OF DISCLOSURE
There is little a runesmith finds more detestable than forgeries
so it is little surprise this rune was invented.
Requirement: Must be inscribed on a container
Rules: lf something is then placed inside, the rune will glow
brightly if the object is a forgery or false in some way. Metal that
has been debased will causc thc rune to glow, as will coumer-
feit coins and forged papers.
RUNE OF WIZARDRY
This rune was made to prove that runes could achieve what
wizards could. And that they could do so safer and better.
Requirement: N/a
Rules: Five uses only, when making this rune chose a petty
magic spell. When used the rune casts that spell with a success
of 0SL and with unstoppable force. An item with two such runes
has 12 uses, an item with three of this rune has 25 uses. Unlike
normal petty magic casting the rune of wizardry can be used
silently.
