Runecasting

Most Runes are cast through the power granted by your Material to perform their described call, but some work differently. When you cast a rune you must say its name.

In addition to the main ability granted, all runes can be cast for a minor miracle, calling just its element. Outside of combat this can cause a small miracle such as using Dagaz to make a small flame to appear in your hand instead of its usual shattering effect, or Ēihaz to make a flash of light. This can be used for changing the environment, such as lighting a candle, or it can be directed at a foe to exploit its weaknesses (for example using Raidō to strike a fire giant with ICE).

Trickery

Loki has perfected the use of his rune to don the guise of other runes to help his lokilings blend in with the godlings of other gods. At the start of each event choose another rune and your Hagalaz rune will perfectly mimic it.

Heal

Runes of healing require careful channeling to cast. You must perform 5 seconds of uninterrupted roleplay within range to call HEAL with them.

Claim

Once per event you can cast this rune to grant you a boon of resources. You can ask for this to be relevant to a problem you're solving.

Learn

Once per event you can cast this rune to ask a question and get a short factual answer.

Insight

Once per event you can cast this rune have a vision relating to a topic. This will be more extended than the Learn ability, but will be open to interpretation.

Create

Once per event you can gain a bonus when crafting an item or inscription.

Material

Godlings and lokilings are made infused with one of the elemental materials of the world to give them the power to cast runes. Your material does not need to match the runes you cast, though it might be slightly uncomfortable if they don't (for example a godling infused with Ice can freely cast FLAME runes).

Iron and Stone

Solid and reliable, Iron and Stone empower you to cast 3 runes per encounter using melee strikes or by touch with no need to wait.

You can only cast the runes of RESIST once per encounter.

Ice and Nature

Patient and flexible, Ice and Nature allow you to cast any number of runes per encounter using melee strikes or by touch, but you must wait 10 seconds between casts.

You can only cast runes of HEAL once per encounter.

Darkness and Fire

Darkness and Fire are energetic but must maintain control. Godlings infused with them can cast their runes at 5 metre range, but they can only do so 3 times per encounter and must also wait 10 seconds between casts.
