9.36 RUNELORE

The skill of Runelore revolves around two aspects: Runes and Totems. By
sketching various runes on the ground, on yourself, on other people, or on
weapons or armour, a variety of beneficial or harmful effects may be achieved.
Runes on yourself or another will work automatically, as will runes on weapons
and armour. Runes sketched on the ground will either work continuously, once,
or when an enemy of yours enters the room. The help scroll for each ability
will specify.

While Runes are a nice supplement to other skills, the true power of Runelore
is only unleashed in the Totem. By sketching up to six runes on a Totem, and
then either Implanting it, or Standing it, you are able to create a weapon of
destruction that can wreak havoc with anyone the Totem is tuned to affect, when
that person enters the room.
