-Additionally, you may inscribe your own custom Runes - in order to do so, you must select a solid, stationary surface to inscribe the rune upon (a boat's deck, for example, would be suitable - this clause is meant to disallow moving the Rune about, which would just make it a Scroll). You must expend 10 minutes per Spell Tier to inscribe a Rune, and you may inscribe any spell which you know. The Mana used on a Rune is sacrificed, meaning your maximum Mana is permanently decreased until the Rune has activated. You may bind a Rune to an Implement for this purpose, but the Implement will likewise lower its maximum capacity when doing so. A Minor Implement bound to a specific Spell may only assist with Runes of that specific spell.+Additionally, you may inscribe your own custom Runes - in order to do so, you must select a solid, stationary surface to inscribe the rune upon (a boat's deck, for example, would be suitable - this clause is meant to disallow moving the Rune about, which would just make it a Scroll).

 When the trigger condition is met, the Rune casts as if you had cast the spell yourself from that position. You must dictate any specifics of the spell when you are inscribing the Rune (for example, a Rune of [[priority:magic:spells:tier4:scrying|Scrying]] must have a predetermined target upon activation).

-Runes remain indefinitely, but they may be destroyed through their host structure being destroyed, an [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:erase|]] spell, and similar effects. You may allow a Rune to have multiple "charges" by expending sufficient Mana for each use.

-You may modify the properties of a magical item by inscribing runes within it. To do so, you must spend 10 minutes of time per bonus of the magical item (thus a +6 item would take 1 hour). Doing this allows you to freely modify the properties of the item's enchantments, up to half your Caster Level (minimum 1). This means that in order to completely rewrite every enchantment upon a +10 Longsword, you would need to be Caster Level 20. You only need the Caster Level for the enchantments being rewritten - if your Caster Level were 12, you could still rewrite up to +6 of the theoretical +10 item's enchantments.+You may modify the properties of a magical item by inscribing runes within it.
