While I finish up scripting things, have a title page for Chapter 3! :"D New Chapter begins next week~!
(I'll probably stick a larger version of the chapter image on tumblr later, but if you don't follow me there, you can also vote to see it!)

I could be very wrong, but I think the runes -are- the spell, and speaking them activates it. You couldn't just speak the runes without having them written down first, because they aren't prepared, but the runes written contain, or are, the entirity of the spell.

I've been through the archives and extras and comments a few times trying to figure out the way magic works in this universe, but I'm still not clear. Does each runewriting spell have a distinct rune shape attached to it? Do the runes define the general magic (say, a full-body transformation) and the spoken part specify the exact spell (transformation into a DRAGON, for instance)? Do spells/runes/spoken parts have to be used by the runewriter who created them?
And this is just the runewriting side of it. I won't even start on the ritualist side.
If it's not spoilerific, I'd love to know!
(Sorry it got kind of long.)
