Runic magic

  Runic Magic is druidic in origin and it takes the form of symbols that you can draw or carve. It is best to carve it into an item of power or empowered by your own actions or someone else's. Cherry oak is bad for carving, but other oaks are better as is ash and pine. Paper or papyra is good for temporary runes, as for plastic its good for temporary charges up to 6 weeks. Otherwise you can't enchant plastic, unless you renew it or someone dies near the plastic piece. It works like this: the moment the rune is drawn it takes from the power of the maker of the rune, yourself, and the energy around you. There is never a certainty to any rune drawn as it will do as it sees fit.

  To cast a positive rune in a manner which kills another or reflects badly on you is to cause harm on yourself three times worse. The protection shield rune, a rounded ^ with no sharp angles will reflect any negative effect cast at the person as well as put a perfect barrier around you which is a protective force. It leaves said person able to do anything else while being protected from all harm as well. With it in effect don't get lazy and keep a gray barrier imagined around you for non-detection. Said person is not immune to physical damage. Only martial arts or other combat abilities of defense and offense. This can also be used for swords. A good sword for spell casting is a sword that has three metals. An example is a hilt of brass, a blade of steel, and a bone handle.
