Basic Runes

These runes make the base of future Rune combinations. On their own they are very weak and rarely useful, but combined they might make potent spells.

FEHU - "Wealth"
???

Rune Combinations


Since a single rune barely holds any spell potence, and is often lacking in variation, the Rune Caster would do good to combine various runes into one potent spell. However, this requires knowledge, time and precision.

Below, a few examples of rune combinations are written down to understand the effects of the runes. Combining runes makes them more potent by default.

Stronger Spells
In general, spells are boosted by ANSUZ combinations.

ANSUZ - LAGUZ: Your Water-type spell will now inflict more damage against your enemy.
ANSUZ - MANNAZ: You will heal yourself for more, but the spell is still less efficient than that of an Alomancer.

Various effects
There is a possibility to weave various effects into one spell.

BERKANO - ALGIZ: this combination will grant you a healing over time and shield you from future physical harm all in one spell. Great, no?
NAUTHIZ - SOWILO: Why slow your foe if you can burn him alltogether? This combination inflicts Fire damage while it drains the enemies speed.

Buffing an ally
A Rune Caster is able to channel the rune's power in himself, but once in a party it isn't just him who could use buffs of all kind.
Any spell with a 'Cast Self' option can be transferred into an ally's friend by combining it with GEBO.

GEBO - URUZ: This combination allows a Rune Caster to grant an ally a boost in strength. Either the duration is longer, or the boost is greater - to the Rune Caster's choice.
GEBO - EIHWAZ: This combination allows a Rune Caster to enchant an ally's weapon. The ally's weapon will then do Earth-Type damage.
GEBO - ALGIZ: This combination grants an ally a resistance to physical attacks. Either the duration or the resistance is greater - to the Rune Caster's choice.

Changing elements
Some spells don't have an element, but combining them with an elemental rune will quickly change that.

BERKANO - EIHWAZ: Generally a damage over time when casted on enemies, it will now inflict Earth damage rather than the usual magic damage.
ALGIZ - SOWILO: Algiz gives resistance to physical damage, but in combination with Sowilo it will now grant resistance against Fire-type damage.

Area spells for massive heaps of monsters
The energy of all runes is usually channeled into or onto one creature, but there is one rune that will change this: Hagalaz.

HAGALAZ - ISA: rather than to harm one opponent at a time, you will be harming all creatures in a certain radius. In addition, you will do Ice-type damage.

Alas, the restrictions...
Not all runes can be combined, however. Some runes will require a higher level of understanding and precision before being able to be combined.

GEBO - HAGALAZ: You will give your ally an area of effect...? Impossible. You will need at least one rune granting protection or an element, bringing the combination to 3 runes.
GEBO - HAGALAZ - ALGIZ: this combination would work and will give all your allies (=Gebo+Hagalaz) a resistance against physical attacks (=algiz). However, this is a higher level combination and thus harder to cast.
KENAZ - ISA: IceFire? FireIce? OMGWTFBBQ? @.@ You can't combine two element runes together lest you wish it to explode in your face...

Advanced Rune Combinations


These combinations will require at least 3 runes or more. While far more potent and useful, there is defenatly the danger of time consuming. Cast these when you're not having aggro...

A few combinations are 'fixed'. Which means that they are so potent and well-known that they have a unique effect when the runes are combined in exact the same way as written.

VARIOUS
GEBO - HAGALAZ - ALGIZ
You grant all allies resistance against physical attacks.

GEBO - HAGALAZ - ALGIZ - EIHWAZ
You grant all allies resistance to Earth damage.

GEBO - HAGALAZ - ALGIZ - EIHWAZ - JERA
You seem to lack TIWAZ, but with JERA you're still able to grant all your allies a resistance to Wind damage.

EIHWAZ - NAUTHIZ - EIHWAZ
One big rock projectile, great to knock your enemy down. Or at least slow him down.

KENAZ - SOWILO - KENAZ
You asked for light...? Well, now you have a great bonfire with it. Possibility to cooking, warming and a great light radius is included.

ANSUZ - MANNAZ - BERKANO - ANSUZ
A potent spell healing you for one half of the spell's power, and recovering you over time for the other half.

FIXED
Add GEBO if you wish to buff an ally, or add both GEBO and HAGALAZ if wish you buff your party with one of these master Rune spells.

"The Ancient's Blessing": URUZ - EIHWAZ - TIWAZ - OTHALA
This spell boosts all your stats pretty well.

"Like Shadows": PERTHRO - TIWAZ - RAIDO.
This spell allows sneaky rogues to be nearly undetectable.. and fast.

"Immortal Stone": ALGIZ - EIHWAZ - BERKANO - EIHWAZ - ALGIZ.
Health, defence and healing... why even try?

"Avatar of Vengeance": URUZ - THURISAZ - RAIDO - THURISAZ - URUZ
You hit fast, hard and anything hitting you is hurt as well.
