Rune Effects
Find random runes on this chart by rolling ld6 for “tens”
and a second d6 for “digits:” thus 4 followed by 3 equals
43: 1 and 6 means 16, and so on.
A rune can only invoke, augment, or increase its listed qualities.
Where the quality is a game statistic, it is boosted as if
by Bless; where the quality is part of the world, like Money
or Fire, it is summoned, or manifested as if by Glamour. It
may also be augmented by a kind of Glamour; for example,
the Eo rune can make a corpse speak: the Eh rune can
give a horse a tougher hide or a man greater wisdom -
the thing becomes “more itself” but does not gain powers
foreign to it, like flight. Note that “Glamour” made permanent
is basically “real,” except that it can be Dispelled.

61-66 Re-roll
Time: the Time Required for Rune magic is the same as
for other magic. However, part of this time is spent carving
runes, or supervising someone else who carves them,
as indicated on the Rune Magic Materials sidebar.
Ritual: The runes are carved during the ritual, whether it
is normal length or hasty.
Preparation: The runes are carved during Preparation
time, all of which must be finished before the ritual
begins.
Winter: As Preparation, plus the caster gains no game
benefits for the Winter Phase. Aging and attrition are
rolled for as normal.
Life Force: Figure this normally from Personal, Ambient,
and Specific Life Force.
Magic Limit: Figured normally, which means that it may
fluctuate from casting to casting. Then, add or subtrad
the Magic Limit modifiers from the Rune Materials chart,
and subtrad the sum of all Rune or Permanent Life Force
you have previously cast.
Using Read (Runes) as a Talent: First, you must write a
spell or sentence explaining how you want the magic to
work. The sentence can include any words, except concepts
that exist only in game terms (Increase Strength,
Pious, or Life Force count as terms a Saxon might understand,
but numerical game modifiers like +2 Strength or
+2d6 damage do not). Each personal name, or number
however written, is a single word. Finally, the statement
must list one or more of the caster’s gained runes that will
invoke the effect: these need not be worked into the sentence
grammatically.
The GM interprets the magic effect based on what the
spell literally says, what kinds of magic can be invoked by
the listed runes, and the usual function of the
be-runed object. He assigns a Life Force cost for the spell,
and the runere makes a Read (Runes) roll, comparing the
roll to the box on the next page.
