JOSEF MERIWHOD’S ATTRACTING RUNE 3

MINOR MAGICAL RUNES EVOCATION MAGICAL

MINOR RUNES
Minor runes are another class of runes which can
be etched on various items. Unless otherwise
specified, they can be etched onto weapons and
armor without a fundamental rune and they don’t
count against the number of property runes an
item can hold. All items can hold up to 2 minor
runes, and an item with a fundamental rune can
hold up to 4 minor runes.
If an item has multiple etchings of the same
rune, only one of the runes applies. You can
upgrade and transfer minor runes in the same way
as fundamental and property runes.
Usage etched onto two items
These runes are etched in pairs, an invisible,
intangible, and indestructible thread of force
connecting them. The etched items cannot be
separated by more than a commanded distance.
Activate command, Interact; Effect With
the two etched items touching, you speak a
distance between 0 and 30 feet. This sets the
length of the thread connecting the runes, and
thus the maximum separation between the items.
