RUNECRAFT

Return to Magic and Mana
--

Magic need not be inborn nor siphoned from a greater power; no, it may also be contained, or packaged in an object to be called upon when needed. Though not unlike a Magic wand or Enchanted Weapon, Runic Magic was a tradition utilized by the Giants wherein refined Manastone is grafted directly into the flesh so that the recipient may "cast" spells like any Mystic. The process is, unsurprisingly, very painful, and most individuals subject to it do not survive. Those that do live through the ordeal, however, are imbued with potent magical energies; capable of feats of supernatural power. This process has been used throughout history by both Giants and Dwarves, though most recently it has been usurped by the Church of the Goddess' Hand and utilized to empower its Knights with "Divine" might.
