Runes

A rune is an ancient symbol used to slightly affect the function of a prism. Runes are NOT mandatory but they will improve a spell greatly! There are many different runes, a few of which are listed here. You can find runes in treasure chests, or buy them from the newbie shop with newbie tokens. To add a rune to a prism, type 'combine <prism> <rune>'. The rune will now merge with the prism.

Elemental runes:

These can be added to some spells, causing them to function differently. For example: Adding an 'air' rune to a prism of 'Conjure Elemental' will cause it to conjure Air Elementals.

Augment runes:

These augment a spell in one of several ways. For example:

Adding a 'Duration' rune to a spell will increase its duration. Note: Not all combinations are useful. (Adding a 'Dur' rune to a 'heal' prism will not do anything).

Racial Runes:

These runes can be added to your offensive spells to increase damage against a certain race of mob. They can also be added into your defensive spells to increase the effect on you exponentially with each 'fec' rune added.

Runes may also be inserted into socketed items for a bonus effect.
