Hmm, that seems cool. Is there an existing rune mage playbook/CC for DW?

Anyone want to help me make a rune-based magic system. So far, I have got the following ideas:

• runes themselves hold power

• the object in which the runes are inscribed is destroyed when the spell is cast

That seems sufficient to one side of my mind, The other side of my mind isn’t so sure.

  3. Love everything you two have already mentioned.

    My thoughts are as follows:

    Every spell has a Source (fire, force, love, etc), a Form (blast, aura, enchant, etc) and a Potency or “Level” (weak, strong, godlike, etc).

    This can be used in many spell books or alchemist labrotories. In your case, Runes.

    That’s my thoughts. I wouldn’t worry about range and area of effect. Let the spells nature develope that in the fiction. We can pretty easily tell how far and how many targets a fire ball will harm.

  4. There is a playbook called The Enchanter that works like I imagine a Runemaster would. The class doesn’t have a spells list, it works only on moves, but I think it’s quite well done. The “Craft Enchantments” move is the way the class uses its magic. You use a resource called Stock to inscribe runes or marks or whatever. And by this enchant objects in any way you want (with its obvious limitations). There is also a move called Runic Weapon, that gives specific powers to your melee weapon of choice by inscribing a rune in it. This might not be what you were looking for but it’s worth a shot. It might inspire you to build your own.

  5. The Enchanter is a GREAT playbook. There is a version that does have spell books aswell. Not exactly what you have been describing mechanically, but definitely fictionally.

  6. Robert Doe Oh, I haven’t found that one. Thanks for the info. Addramyr Palinor I recommend you check out The Enchanter (either/both versions), maybe it’ll be what you wanted and if not you can always pick some ideas.
