Runestone

A runestone is a stone with a magical rune drawn upon it. To determine which rune is on the stone, read it. They are commonly used as a component in the following spells:

• Spirit Servant (218)
• Scroll Infusion (714)
• Minor Summoning (725)
• Call Familiar (920)

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.
• 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. Runestones will always crumble when their charages have been depleted, and there is no method to detemine how many charges remain.
