Runic magic?

That's fine as a special effect, I guess. The process is usually chanting/incantation and gestures. The gestures can be of runes. Then the investing of magical power into the spell by tapping a ley line and directing the magic.

For clerics it would be prayers, runic gestures and the god(s) granting the power.

Runes are most applicable for alchemists, which are minor mages that must invest magical power into an item or potion (rather than better mages that can use spells immediately). Runes are drawn while tranferring magical energy into the item via the rune.

Yeah, I am writing purely from an in-game worldview, having only a basic understanding of the system. So yeah, it's just rthe special effects, and the form that gestures/incantations/enchantments take. You can think of the Magic Control skill being an understanding of the symbology of runes. The greater the understanding, the greater the ability to manipulate magic. --Politas 19:53, 10 February 2006 (PST)
