Rune Magic
Runes are created and spells are stored in them. When they are used the spell is cast and the Rune Stone is destroyed. Runes can also be used to customize magical weapons and armor (don't know about this cause it almost defeats the purpose of our channeler class if we go ahead with it).
Two types of Runes-Normal and Master Runes. These can be engraved or set into weapons or armor.
Weapon Runes(Weapon Runes) can only be set or engraved into weapons usable by dwarfs (Weapons: Dwarf)
Armor Runes(Armor Runes) can be set or engraved into any armor, shield or helmet used by dwarves (Armor: Dwarf)
Only one Master Rune may be used at one time on a character, but they may wear more than one Normal Rune. They will loose the effect of any Rune when they loose that piece of eq either by taking it off or by align loss. Whether that loss is temp or perm is for us to discuss.
