Yeah, which would be under reasoning. Our world does not run of disbelief in and of itself. We run on reason and curiosity.
We do disbelieve certain ideas, like divine right of Kings, and slavery. A disbelief crystal would need to be focused on a concept somehow.

No, the opposite would be only accepting Truths.
Again, belief and logic/reasoning/common sense aren't mutually exclusive.
We have Accuracy for targeting and Control for self-control/psykers:
However, my intention behind Precision was scientific precision, both in manipulation and measurement.
You're committing Warp-Heresy by summoning a Lord of Change and this guy suddenly kicks down your door. Wat do?
Assert that you are legally allowed to continue this summoning in the name of science, both you and the university have all the certifications necessary and you have taken all necessary precautions, including calling him in to observe.

It is useful for getting down to the specifics, yes, which provides an accuracy boost as a side effect.

He accepts this explanation but warns you that proper authorities should always be informed beforehand in case of emergency. He then proceeds to inspect the surrounding wards and arrange a couple extra Holy and Purity Runes for added security.

@ilbgar123 Assuming the list of completed crystals is 100% correct, could you copy it and add it to the information threadmarks?

Okay, I have an idea for what to do to piss off Chaos:
Tzeentch- carve a Rune of Honesty into his Lords of Change
Nurgle- carve a Rune of Medicine into his Great Unclean Ones
Slaanesh- carve a Rune of Moderation into he/she/its Keepers of Secrets
Khorne- Mercy as previously mentioned.

So, it's vague metaphors change a bit. I imagine Lords of Change are quite good at telling lies without saying a single falsehood.
No, no, you need to add Static and Form to Lords of Change as well, Health and Cleanliness to Great Unclean Ones, Chastity and Abstinence to Keepers of Secrets, with Peace, Pacifism and Kindness going to Khorne's lot.

Can Runes be made out of any material or do they have to be warp-infused? Because it's not out of the question for a planet to have a regular written character be identical to one of our Runes.
Then we can rules lawyer them right back by using an honesty rune instead of truth rune. Since honesty is all about not concealing the full truth, while truth is only what is factually correct.

Each rune is a "pentagram with stylized script that translates the nature of the Rule Shards into written language". That's far too complex to become part of a regular language. Besides, runes are "generally immobile", so a flexible medium like paper is probably right out.
Any verdict on this, @ilbgar123?
Also, could you tell us the prerequisites for Range and Connection crystals?

Other cultural items? There is a Japanese name stamp, which is very stylized. Maybe some kind of cultural artifact like that?

I really like that idea. Was it already discussed? Because flat exp system feels unbalanced.
Tbf, putting a covert ops guy in a simulation makes him great deal less dangerous. Since you know that he's there he doesn't get a "surprise round".
"What's in the air?"
Honest answer: "I don't know."
Because I honestly don't remember how much protons/neutrons/etc different elements that are in the air have.

And runes.... maybe we should stop creating new ones for a while? We've all we already need and I'm not keen on finding a hostile empire who uses our runes.

That exact description applies to Order Runes. Other Rune types vary a bit. Fire rather resembles a flower drawing to many, for instance.
Disbelief is available now, but Faith is not inherently bad. Faith just lends itself to fanaticism, which is inherently bad. Religion's basic problem stems from the human tendency not to question their beliefs. This is bad enough with science, which explicitly has questioning things as part of it's basic premise, while religion explicitly says to keep faith in things no matter what.
Connection should be available now. I think. I'm tempted to rule it as a derivative of Bond, as Bond represents a looser tie, but...

That's not the same for w40k. Religion's basic problem there are Warp Tumors who are inherently incapable of being more than 1-dimensional beings that try to make everyone they can the same 1-dimensional beings.

I'm sure people already know this, but it's also still worthwhile to note that just as faith is not inherently bad .... disbelief isn't inherently good.
For example, anti-vaxxers. Secondarily, people who don't believe the environment is in danger if we don't make some serious changes to our lifestyle.
Disbelief can get real horrifying.
- Location
- LEO
As I said, the purest expression of disbelief would be self doubt. Disbelief should not be the basis for our chaotic defenses.
It's a good weapon against orks or cultists, but world spirits and redirecting the brain/soul link to the weave are our anti chaos plans.
