Runes 101

[snugglesjugs]

Hello everyone this is your friendly neighborhood Dawn, your lovely Aladdin player and designer of the rune system here in Asgard.

I’m just here to clear some things up and give you guys a crash course into runes since it’s been a while since they first came up.

First up the rune mythos
Runic magic has been around for a quite some time, long before the travelers came to Asgard. It was a commonly used form of magic used by the locals of the world. However, when the GREYNESS spread up into Asgard, it caused ambient magical energy used in runic magic to go dormant and the magical art fell into disuse in the city.

It’s only been recently rediscovered by the travelers in the magic guild, Grimoire’s sigil. The guild with the help of other travelers was able to jump start magical energy in the city on Day 198 during the runic borealis. They did this by using the channel magic array and painted them all over the strongest magical points in the city. So character can spot these arrays glowing from time to time.

Also the runic magic was only affected in Asgard, since that is where the greyness set in. Other cities and places have their own unique forms of runic magic they can use that the travelers can’t, since the magical energy they use is unique to their location.


Second thing is that I need to clarify a few things when it comes to rune requests and extra tidbits of.

• Requests are made here and you can find a list of all approved arrays.
• You can also find more IC info there as well, (I'll be putting up the mythos and extra bits from here on the page later today.)
• Rune arrays cannot be more powerful then the powers given by the gods.
• Runes can’t copy the powers give by the gods either.
• Runes can’t replicate something that already in the city.
• Self created limits are a good way to make sure you avoid one breaking rule one.
• The mods can add their own limits to your array as well..
• These are just important things to keep in mind about requests.
• I'll be putting up approved and rejected runic arrays in these rune logs once a batch of arrays as been cleared by the mods.

Extra tidbits

• An array is just another name for spell.
• People that create runic arrays are called Runemasters.
• Runic ink and oil are the items needed to draw up working arrays. (These are created with alchemy, they can be purchased from the guild or a person can make some on their own if you can purchase the ingredients.)
• Runic magic can be self caught, be taught by freelance runemasters or runemasters from the guild.

That should be it if you have any questions just ask them in comments. The mods and I will be answer them o/
