Would it be feasible to add a Wizard move (or perhaps a spell in the vein of Contingency) that allowed the wizard to inscribe a rune or enchant an object that acted as the touch of that wizard for the purpose of casting certain spells? For example, instead of having to touch someone to cast Charm Person or Mimic, you could cast it on someone who touched the rune or object instead of having to touch them yourself.

It kind of fits in the same area as some of the other spells that make your spells more effective, but I’m not sure how much more powerful it actually makes the spells. Being able to touch things that are distant from you is pretty helpful…

  1. I kind of like the idea of it being an item. It draws to mind wizards who say a spell over a rock or coin and drop it in their target’s pocket for future calamity. I also had the thought that it could be a ritual, since it indicates preparedness and planning, but maybe it could be firmed up into a concrete, always works the same way spell. Would it be too powerful as a move that could be used at will, just an upgrade to spells that require a touch?

  2. You could also limit the rune’s usefulness by having it only work within a certain range of the caster. Or at least while they’re on the same plane.
