List of Runes

This Article is in accordance with the version 0.94 of Runarcana RPG

During character creation, after choosing your Runic Pulse, you must choose a Rune. Each Rune has its own rules and mechanisms that are described in it. As each Rune is a manifestation of a Runic Pulse, possessing a Rune's Runic Pulse grants Synergy benefits. A character can choose Runes that are not from their Runic Pulse, however, these Runes do not receive Synergy bonuses, as will be explained later.
