Runes

Runes are powerful magical artifacts that allow users to cast spells, summon extra-dimensional allies, and boost natural abilities.

Arch Runes
Arch runes are the rare fossilized remains of elder dragon hearts, crystallized at death by extreme amounts of concentrated mana. They are among the most devastatingly powerful magical artifacts in the world. Arch runes possess wills of their own, and have been known to completely dominate the minds of lesser bearers, even destroy their own bearer in some cases. Only those with the strongest of mind, spirit and willpower can subjugate the will of an arch rune. As a result, bearers are granted agelessness, immunity to disease, and incredible power great enough to govern and destroy entire continents.

Synth Runes
These are the most common types of runes in the world. Synth runes are artificially produced by humans, and can be found in schools of martial and magical training, or purchased in a multitude of specialty shops around the globe. In wishing to combat against the stronger races, humans managed to engineer synth runes in such a way that makes them incompatible for use with any other race.

They are categorized as four types:
 * Physical - Skill runes that grant and/or enhance various physical abilities of the user.
 * Magical - Allows the use of magic spells that can be used to deal damage, heal or cause various effects.
 * Summon - Summons creatures to cause devastating effects to targets or positive effects to the user.


 * Support - Provides support, auto-abilities, and/or stat boosts to the user.
