WARNING! VERY much a work in progress by Sabrine, this will be added to over the next few weeks while I work things out
Hometown: Kleinstadt only
Stats: 68 Perception, 72 Spirit, 30 Mind, and then you need to decide on your build. (at the moment some variety of bow shooter seems the most sensible and achievable)
A runecaster is a buff/debuff class, as well as a crafter of some specialised charms, and can be combined into other classes.
You acquire runes which you can then use RUNELORE LEARN (rune name) to learn at the cost of 1 practice per rune, any further runes of that type that you have can be used to cast spells, or used as part of a crafted charm.
#####Teachers:

#####Runecast
Runecast allows you to cast a defensive buff by RUNECAST (rune name) and if you train it to the second level you can cast an offensive debuff by RUNECAST MERKSTAVE (rune name) (target name)
#####Runecraft
Runecraft allows you to create your own runes based on runes you already know, these come in two types.
If you want a stronger rune for yourself to use for casting purposes, you create a polished rune by RUNECRAFT (rune name) POLISHED (requires a polished stone from the wrinkled lady in Norway)
If you want a rune which other runecasters can learn from, you create an enchanted rune by RUNECRAFT (rune name) ENCHANTED (requires an enchanted stone, created by the Enchanting tradeskill, which in turn requires a smooth stone and drop of yew sap to create)
If you train runecraft to the second level you can also manufacture charms which are worn as wrist or neck items, these can include up to 5 runes at 50th level.
Runes dropped by mobs or purchased runes from vendors can be used to craft runes but the more runes you string together, charms will
require at least some of the runes be crafted, enchanted runes:
| Runes | Runes that must be enchanted |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0 |
| 2-3 | 1 |
| 4-5 | 2 |
There are some things of which to take note:
Runecrafting charms can fail. You stand the best chance with a high level, a high spirit and perception, and maintaining prophesy when crafting.
