On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

@soulcake: i have a few questions for a potential item crafting write in:

how do the prosthetic runes interact with dwarfs that are not missing body parts? I think Snorri did this kind of research with Jorri... So it's think it should work.

Could you wear a prosthetic arm on a harness and use it like a third arm?
Or a prosthetic eye on the back of a helm be used to gain 360 vision?
Or a held eye be used as a periscope? (or a fibre optic camera to peep down holes)

What is the range of the rune of direction? And can it be used to control a rune of speech?

@soulcake How does Snorri deal with the possibility of his own equipment potentially being self aware enough to be a breech of his vows of secrecy?

A couple of thoughts
  • Snorri might just die of shame when he realizes the Siphon rune is subverting the leyline network's attempt to suck the excess magic out of the world
  • I wonder if we could make "receiver" runes for allied brana or elves to receive the siphoned wind in their area for spellcasting
  • Windgulper rune: greedily sucks down as much Wind as possible, burning down the level of Winds of Magic in an area
  • Master Windgulper: redirects the energy into limited internal storage or towards other active runes when possible

We need to look at the waystones for that.

Silverbrand would be amazing to meet.

-- Whatever you've done has irreversibly changed The Anvil of the Earth. To work there is to more easily draw upon the Deep Magic of the World.
-- 3/3 Major Charges available, when doing a difficult request you can choose to use the Anvil and have the resulting piece of Runecraft be subject to its energies.

...Huh. Would it theoretically be possible to inscribe the Rune of Siphoning onto the Anvil of the Earth to refill its Major Charges?

Time to check in how that ones doing.

Culture clash still going strong?

Any idea what we should use those charges for?

Once we have the Rune of Kingship, we could make the Crown there.

Also: should we fortify the place?

makes me wonder if we can use multiple charges at once, especially if we can refiill them, or make a battery to store more charges so we can dump even more.

Presumably, the charges will automatically regenerate next time there is a Storm.

Another logical use would be the Dragon Gronti... but i don't think we will be able to fit the thing on the anvil...

The capstone Gronti should get at least one. Maybe the windsight eye we end up making but that honestly will probably be overkill. Personally I'm thinking our next personal talisman which should revolve around magical energy manipulation and would likely benefit greatly. Especially if we include whatever we come up with for deep magic runes next.

I'm fond of a Runestaff. Also, Remaking the Conversion talisman with Adamant and the Master Rune of Valaya + 2 other runes... unless we want to go for a Primordial world theme talisman.

Maybe the Heart of the World? No idea what to put on it though.
 
.......how would runesmiiths/runelords feel if a giant gronti with master rune of thugni eyes turned everything they were wearing into dust?

I believe the current main idea for the talisman is something very good at channeling energy, due to how the storm & anvil went. Could still fit antimagic aspects into that easily. As for making it fit in theme you could play up the deep magic thing and hope Soul is feeling kind. Deep Magic must come from somewhere and played some sort of role in the past of the world.

That and the fact that a mobile version of our new deep magic rune would be perfect for an antimagic talisman or maybe even a magic directing one. It's all about directing deep magic to it then breaking it up into something useable. Slap another rune for controlling/dispelling regular magic, and a third rune (personally hoping MRune of Thungni, depending on what we learn about it), and all of that on the Anvil? Should turn out very nice and have a decent chance of fitting our set. Maybe the beginnings of the rune of sorcery too.
Edit: there's also the "grounding" spells aspect from the deep magic tap, maybe?

I agree we need to get the language down, but also, we should work on the clue and waystones, first because it looks like Yorri can help, second because we have things attacking them specifically now

By waystones you mean protecting the network, and maybe trying to repair them?

Or do you mean material research on the waystones? Or is it the wardstones material research you want?

"If that's the intent, why not just… I don't know, carry such a thing yourself? Not that it's arguably even necessary, can't you manage something similar with just your talons? I've seen you bring down unsuspecting Elk for most of my life, I don't think a big metal stick will do much more damage than what you already possess Thunder," Skarri says skeptically.

I love the contrast between Thunder's over the top enthusiasm to Skarri's only sane man here.
 
I'd also make the big rune of siphoning for the workshop at the anvil since that seems like an easy powerup for the rune. Ideally whatever we put in the runiversity as a power tap should be made at the anvil anyway.

Waystones, those are getting targeted, and we have had the option to look into them for a while now

Yeah, what do you mean by that specifically? Cause the players are using...
-[] Waywarding: [Cost: 1 action or retainer action] Gain bonus to Waystone rolls and update on status of Waystones. Can be taken multiple times. [1 Retainer Action]. About once a turn I think.

Sure, none of these actions are being taken....
[ ] [Simple] Re-warding Work: [Cost: 2 actions] Peerless Production will proc. Gain 1 Waystone reroll. There's work to be done, repairing damaged wards and adding new Runes around the monolith and otherwise. Your master most certainly did a bang up job, but there's nothing wrong with contingencies upon contingencies.
[ ] [Difficult] Mysterious Mystery Stones: [Cost: =2 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. What are these things? That is the first question on your mind, the second is what in Grungni's name do they do? These large rocks that the Ancestors bid your folk protect, an enigma in a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Dig through every scrap of lore and knowledge you possess and see if something can be brought to light.
[ ] [Difficult] Wardstones: [Cost: (5 -2) =3 actions] Master of the Odd will proc. These Wardstones, the last creations of the Runesmiths of Karag Dum before they were wiped out, are capable of concealing the presence of a Dawi from the scrying of enemy magic. From Valka's testimony it wasn't perfect, but it made survival possible instead of impossible. That, and given the state of their resources, is a testament to their skill and canniness. A bit too quick to put to use in any other circumstance, uncovering the secrets of this Rune shouldn't be too difficult. Your epiphany after seeing the Rune of Valaya has given you ideas.
- [ ] Prod Yorri: [Cost 1 prod] Gain 1 progress. Yorri has an odd and contemplative look in his eye when he looks at these stones.

But you only want "Mysterious Mystery Stones", right?

Would wardstones be able to protect the waystones if we got the research completed?
