Did you read the post..? I made a lot of it with architecture in mind.

But a word of warning, a non-irongut mage will be killed on sight. When the rule was changed in the fringe it was wildly unpopular and still is in the dwarven community.

Wait explain..? Oh, you have concern over the creation of a key that can open any form of lock? Riiight! Well, here is where I put down your worry, for any generic construct marked utility has to be fully runically designated first. A object is just a piece of shaped metal until someone comes over and says ''this is a lock, with another thing it has this use'' and its one of the things a runesmith has to do. So unless the runesmith had access to both sides of the lock upon its creation and the interior working parts, they would not be able to skeleton key a normally functioning door.

1. How does this MCly benefit dwarves? 2. I am not part of the dwarven nation... lol. 3. We had a version of the magic before this that was leaps more powerful. 4. Are you aware we had a racial magic, just like how orcs have shamanism?

We will be running off the runesmiths from 501's writeup as it was to some degree roleplayed out, as it is being treated as a direct follow up. Names of those who will have it are the following: Dizzy771, Epicbeast6209, BaronVonDietz [though his character does not have access to his runic tools], Jordan1921 [who managed to flat out lose his tools] and myself. However, it should be noted that as a item creation magic those who have it does not directly correlate general approach and usability. At least 3 of the runesmiths there believe IC that the arts of the Dwedmar are a service that must be provided if the person who have the products use it for a just or good cause. We also have more students to eventually introduce. I plan a full implementation method making it a more ''guild'' than ''nation'' magic, though still exclusive to dwarven characters [through IC means].

Just remember to read the notes. Also my internal dialog feels a lot like this song right now as I wait. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlcUwUwjLrs

Ask yourself, is that a thing to decide in RP or OOC?

Balance was one of the big things I addressed as I made this, the plan is to make them very balanced. A heart rune, one which may be used in general carrying purposes is specifically designed to only give a certain amount of power that can be considered weaker at tasks such as the evocation of elements. You won't be seeing any fireswords. As for fleshsmithing, I can't help you. I got a very strongly worded message from Darkjames saying he doesn't want me near the Doomforged. Additionally there is now a functionally identical magic to flesh smithing within Blood magic, and since it performs many of the same tasks I just can't go near that territory.

Runesmithing Runesmithing is one of the most ancient forms of magic. Runes are one of the first forms of true alteration utilizing a legendary language of power that developed in the earliest years of Dwarven existence. The mages of Rivel tried furiously to recreate it, seeing its potential first hand when they tried to enter one of the locked halls of Urguan. They frustratingly failed to do so, trying to empower their enchantments with Thanhium. The mages failed to match the complexity and ability of the runes of Urguan however. Background The Aengul that powers runesmithing is dead. He is trapped within his realm, barely able to maintain the simplest of tasks, those being dwindling commands he laid out almost two and a half millennia ago. He had been one of Iblees’ first victims, ambushed when expecting nothing but civil discourse. Perhaps he had stumbled too near to his secrets, his insidious plans for those of the mortal realm? Perhaps he was just a victim of circumstance? No witness was there to tell. This Aengul led a quiet existence before the events leading up to his demise. He had occupied his time in his immortal life span to experiment and learn. He had proliferated many tricks in this time, mostly in the form of linguistics, viewing it as an endlessly evolving artform. Eventually he took to the task of producing his own language. By the end of this endeavour he had produced many writings and utterances, each with as much detail as possible. He had compiled entire paragraphs into single words, and described, in a single figure, phenomena that remained nameless in most languages. Alas, his brilliance was another victim of his fate. During his assault he feared that if he was defeated his knowledge in the wrong hands could produce countless horrors. He took to his own mind and partitioned it between great barriers, denying its great wealth of knowledge. It made him fruitless game for his assailant and convinced them he was not worth the effort. The result of him being chased left him within a hairs length of death. His mind was shattered and failing from the rash action, and he was well aware that soon he would lose the ability to function consciously. In his final moments, the Aengul looked out upon his vast wealth of knowledge, his creations, and his devices. He knew all his knowledge and all his observations would come to waste if he left himself in the state he was. He changed his form into something that could be described as the ‘’pen’’ for his writings, and cast his knowledge down to those he believed would be the real victims of the horrors he feared to come. This form would eventually be named the Heart. How runesmithing came to the hands of the ancient Dwedmar is unknown, as the society of the Dwed had rejected the very idea of not holding mastery of the art within 300 years of its discovery, and the earliest runesmiths refused to pass on their knowledge of how they did come to wield their power. Looking for the real answers from those ancient days proved fruitless for many, even fifteen hundred years ago, and would be all but hopeless now Creating a Rune - New Architecture Forenote Creating a rune is by no means a simple process. The runesmith must go through an extensive process of preparation when producing runes, from marking of the entities they wish to effect, to the final implementation and activation of the rune. The finished rune commands the comatose Aengul’s divine touch to will the writings into being, using his eldritch language as a conduit for communication and instruction. Materials Tools Runelord Pendants OOC note: There is the high possibility that may more may be added through events. Processes To begin the creation of any runic construct, the Runesmith must first designate the area in use with Thanhium Chalk. The Runesmith would then need to mark out the entire area with the Thanhium Chalk, or run the risk of the rune not storing proper location information. To do so, the smith would circle, for example, a runic door as represented in the example below. Once he does so, the Runesmith begins to carve embedded runic script into Thanhium, in a circular shape around the construct. The Runesmith recites a prayer or chant in praise of Ogradhad and Yemekar before beginning, as ancient Dwarven tradition dictates. Power Source Runesmiths have two different power sources available to them when powering a rune. Each has its own benefits and costs, providing a clear distinction between the powers and capacities of runesmith in comparative scenarios. Thahnium Example: A Key and Lockable Door --Stone Door = Matter(Stone) + Construct(Door) + Size(INT) + Function(Hinge Open/Close) or (Lift Up/Down) / (Pull Open/Close) + PowerSource(Thanic Based) Connector(s) (Stone Door Key) --Stone Door Key = Matter(Iron) + Construct(Devise) + Size(INT) + Function(Penetrate) + PowerSource(Thanic Based) + Connected(Door) --if(Stone Door + Interact(Stone Door Key) { Function } Format: Matter - What material the Construct is composed of (ie, Stone) Construct - What the Object in question is (ie, door) Designation - The size of the object can be marked through Designation, or can be marked via blood. Function - What the rune causes the Construct to do(ie, open, lift, etc.) PowerSource - Where the rune draws its power from (ie, thanhium) Designation The area the rune effects is extremely important, and needs to be clearly designated.. Leaving it loosely defined will produce terrible results, as precious energy is wasted, the rune burns out, the rune affects the wrong objects, or the rune performs the wrong act. Two methods stand for proper designation, each with their own respective rune. Blood Marking The Runes List! Elemental Dialect The elemental dialect is a series of runes that seem to specifically relate to the creation and manipulation of physical matter. It stands as a basis for the creation of many runes as it usually acts as a principal reference for what they are inscribed upon. A runesmith will usually learn this language first, and its mastery alone can give the runesmith the capacity to perform great feats, if specialised into. Divine Dialect The divine dialect ia a dialect formed to serve the purpose and image of the faith of the Dwedmar. Each rune seems to bear function representing the ‘’will’’ of a Dwarven Brathmordakin. The following statements made about dwarven creation and their gods are not correct, just explanations to why these runes display these characteristics. Its history comes from the time where the first runelords provided these runes to both appease the dwarven church and provide a political move to further galvanise support for the art. These runes were selectively chosen for their display of properties that would show the will of Brathmordakin, and as time has passed the move was forgotten and the belief that they truly were representation of the Brathmordakin’s will has come to effect. Each rune eventually saw more or less widespread use in dwarven society, as they were the few runes that Dwed saw themselves entitled to. Runes of Anbella could be seen frequently in businesses to ensure their employees did not steal or falter from their duties, and many others became employed in everyday life of the ancient Dwedmar. Anbella Ogradhad Grimdugan Armakak Dungrimm Belka Khorvad Golematic Dialect The Golematic runes integrate Golem cores as a means of moderating and micromanaging runes. This allows a Runesmith to make a structure that is reactive to its surroundings. It can sense a changing environment and adjust accordingly, greatly reducing the maintenance needed to sustain the structure, ensuring long-term survivability. The runes are mostly seen in the great feats of architecture that the Ancient Dwedmar were so well known for. The structures are maintained through eternity by the Golematic runes crafted to protect them.

Honestly giant mounts = possibility for some very silly stuff.

Quick question for the LT for the last push on the Runesmithing writeup. Will the lore team be fine with the creation of a rune that prevents to a extent Aenguldaemonic powers being expressed onto a person, for example speaking into their mind and temporarily disabling their powers? Likewise, would we be able to produce a process that broke connections to the Aenguldaemonica? (Of course, only strictly for people who consent, and if they wished to afterwards they would still be able to re-establish powers.)
