Required Supplies
To create a runestone, one must acquire the following items, available at a local alchemist.
- a brush (reusable)
- a container of ink (X dips each)
- a container of water (Y dips each)
- a prepared stone or runestone upon which to draw the rune
Drawing Runes
Alchemists sell runestones which are ready to be drawn upon, however it is typically cheaper to create your own. To do so, treat a smooth stone or any gem with "stone" as its noun with an aish'vrak potion. You will see a "greenish-blue mist" rise from the stone, indicating it is ready to be drawn upon. To draw the rune itself:
- Apply ink to the brush: DIP MY BRUSH INTO MY <ink_container>
- Draw the desired rune upon it: DRAW <rune_name> RUNE ON MY <runestone> WITH MY BRUSH
- You may draw two runes with each application of ink.
- Then the brush must be cleaned before applying ink again: DIP MY BRUSH INTO MY <water_container>
- The containers of ink and water can be consolidated by pouring containers of the same type into each other.
Using the Runestone
The number of charges, and verb to activate each runestone is based on the rune drawn upon it. Generally, you will need to rub, wave, or cast at them. A list of currently available runes can be found here.
