Intro \_______ Magic has always been an issue in Dransik. First, magic wasn't even existing. People were bugging Lothgar, Artek, and various other GM's about when magic was coming. Suddenly, it appears, and people (myself included) complain about how there's a problem here, and that someone just killed them 30 times with Thunder Strike. Well, hey. We asked for it :P On a lighter note, magic also replaces the needs for most things. With Nourish, mages don't need to eat food, provided they can cast Nourish. Also, Bless Fields helps farmers VERY MUCH while they farm. I could list 20 others, but I'd rather not. \1.1 Version History \__________________ 1.3: Submissions added. 1.2: Had to change my name due to a mix-up. Nothing else new besides that. 1.1: Minor spelling and other changes. Version History and Prices of Magic Items added. 1.0: This FAQ is new. \2. Legal Cr@pola \_______________ I've said it in many FAQs that I've made, and I'll say it again. This FAQ is property of Locke Cole, L0CKE_COLE, and/or L0CKE COLE (who are all the same person). You can use this FAQ for reading, printing, and giving to your friends, as well as inspiration to get off your @$$ and write a FAQ, but not to copy things off of, sell, or anything of that sort. Thank you for putting up with my cr@p. We now return you to the regularly scheduled FAQ. \3. Runes \_______ \3.1 What are Runes? \__________________ Runes are fused with Mage weapons so people can cast spells. Runes are used in combinations, and there are many of them. \3.2 Where can I get Runes? \_________________________ Runes are... ...sold in magic shops. ...dropped by monsters. ...on other players. Buy them, get them by battle, loot them, whatever. \3.2-a Prices of Magic Items \__________________________ Slots include the one taken up by the alignment rune. Prices are that of when your alignment is yellow or bright green. Apprentice Wand, 175 GP [Blunt Weapon]: 2 slots Mage Staff, 250 GP [Polearm]: 4 slots Mage Blade, 450 GP [Small Blade]: 2 slots Iron Wand, ??? GP [Blunt Weapon]: 3 slots Any rune names put together share the same price. Rune of Body, Soul, and Nature: 500 GP Rune of Mind, Distance and Harm: 1000 GP I will list more and correct others as I find out more info. \3.3 Using Runes \______________ Runes aren't just decorative items, you know. \3.3-a Enchanting \_______________ To enchant a weapon, click on the magic button (picture of the wand) on the HUD. Then click the glowing wand button that pops up, and click the Mage weapon of your choice. (I.E. Apprentice Wand, Mage Staff) Enchanting a weapon gives it a rune that depends on alignment. If you're in the red area, you get a Rune of Evil. Yellow gets a Rune of Neutrality, and green gets you a Rune of Good. (For more on alignment, check my FAQ at gamefaqs.com) You can disenchant a weapon by clicking the not-glowing wand button right under the weapon that is enchanted, or by enchanting another weapon. \3.3-b Fusing \___________ Drag a rune onto a slot in a weapon to fuse that rune to that weapon. Once you fuse it, it cannot be removed unless you destroy it by putting another rune over it, so choose wisely. (NOTE: Alignment runes CANNOT be destroyed.) \3.3-c Casting Spells \___________________ Click the desired rune(s) to ready a spell, then select a target. If you have sufficient stamina, and your runes have sufficient MP, you will prepare it, then cast. When you have a rune combo activated, an aura appears around you. The color depends on what the spell would be considered. A red aura indicates a damaging spell (like Thunder Strike, Plague) A green aura indicates a curative spell (Healing, Nourish) \3.4 Combinations \_______________ Here are some rune combinations that I know of. I haven't tried many of these myself, so if one doesn't work as I list it, PLEASE TELL ME! FORMAT: COMBO CATEGORY -------------- RUNE COMBINATION SPELL: EFFECT VALID TARGETS Here we go...

Target: Self If anyone has some more (REAL) combos, or knows the functions of rune combos that I don't, e-mail me. \5. FAQ \_____ "Where can I find runes?" Runes can be bought in magic shops or off of players, found on dead monsters sometimes, and you always start with a Rune of Body if you chose to be a mage. "Do runes last forever?" No. When you mouse over a rune, a number appears under its name. That's its MP. When it runs out of MP, it's lost forever. MP recharges slowly over time. "What rune combos do you use?" I usually have an iron wand with a rune of good, a body rune, and a nature rune. E-mail me if you have something to add. \6. Outro \_______ Special Thanks to: Myself, for making this. (w00t!)
