"Mmm... nice to meet you, Riimuk. Maybe the resurgence of runic/vocal magic has some connection to the magic that began trapping souls into sufficiently advanced constructs, which was what created Lucida, and others like it.

That's a mystery for another time, though. Shall we relocate to somewhere a bit safer? Wouldn't want an assassin to throw us a surprise party in the middle of our conversation."


Riimuk: ”Inside the base should be safe enough.”

The two of you retreat into the base under the hill. It seems to be an entire catacomb of rooms and tunnels, with plenty of supplies. There are several people in the hideout as well who seem to be fine minding their own business, taking inventory of loot or patching up a wound. It would be completely dark if it wasn’t for the numerous ‘Eitulta Lamps’ hung about the walls, some sort of flameless lantern. The two of you take a seat in a planning-room of sorts, with a table and a map sprawled on top of it.

"Was associating with bandits really the best idea, though? I doubt they offer the best protection, even if as a cover for your identity."

Riimuk: ”Maybe not the best protection, but they do have excellent connections that let me acquire magic items, which greatly help my cause.

Anyways, there is no vocal magic right now that I am aware of, but it might be possible that it exists with a different language from the old one to operate it.

As far as the current runic magic being related to the spirit trap global spell, I see no reason why they would be connected.”

"Hah! Yes, yes I have. Was a while back now, but we started out together in Hopluit. The adventurer life wasn't for him, but the open road didn't stop calling it seems. Just in a different way. Hm, the cobblestone road makes sense now, actually.
How did you meet him?"

Gazebo: ”The boss was bumbling through the forest your kind calls ‘Uralt.’ Not exactly a safe place. I fired a warning shot at him to scare him away and he left soon after. Several days later he returned and set a rope trap. I figured I might as well trip it and see what he wanted, and when he approached he asked if I would sit in one of these wall-less houses in exchange for food. It seemed like a good deal, so I accepted.

And here I am lounging under this canopy, feasting on field rabbits, and greeting the occasional passerby.”

"Both would have to involve magic on a global scale, yes? Magic that powerful is rare, and difficult to control. It would probably cause unintended side effects of some kind, at least, that's what I would assume. But that's mere conjecture on my part. I am eager to learn."

Riimuk: ”The soul-trap spell operated on a global scale by using low-complexity, self-replicating artificial spirits. The shamans created the reapers to constantly search for those types of spirits and destroy them, preventing that type of global spell from being used. The current form of runic magic would not exist if it used the same method as the soul-trap spell, as the reapers would remove it.

Runic magic is operating on a different type of global spell, somehow in a form that resists the Ruhe’s attempts to remove it as they did with the old runic magic.”


The lupus pauses, and then pulls out several pieces of blank paper and an ink pen.

Riimuk: ”You are eager to learn, yes. I suppose now that you know this much, teaching you runic magic wouldn’t add to the amount of danger you’re in.

Runic magic is fairly simple - write down runes, and charge them with mana to activate them. Most of the runic spells I use intentionally self-destruct to remove evidence of the exact nature of the magic. Something for you to consider, I suppose.”


A block of symbols are written on the paper.

Riimuk: ”The first rune you make is the most important. It is always the Compass.”

He points at the upper-left rune in the block.

Riimuk: ”It is what determines how the runes are ‘read,’ depending on how you draw the rune. Left-to-right, right-to-left, up-down, down-up. A runic spell can be written in any of those fashions as long as you draw the Compass appropriately.

Try charging this rune with your mana - don’t worry, it won’t explode.”
