Spell #84 Ensigil

 

 

 

Magic User Level 4

Duration: Permanent

Range: Touch

 

Ensigil- A weapon touched by the caster is ensigiled with a rune. Each rune is invented by the player, and has a word associated. The user of a rune-weapon can activate a rune on the weapon, and the weapon gains some property related to the word. This is to be discussed between the dm and players, for example, fire might make the weapon flaming, but flaming almost definitely would. If a second rune is put, the order matters, and full sentences can be made. Twist the wind, slice through stone, dread follows the weak, full spectrum ray, behind the waterfall, all are great theoretical runewords. All these single runes or sentences may be activated once per day, so for example, flaming and strike the weak would both be a single activation, and both could only be activated once per day.
