Details:	By fortifying your body with a protective layer of shieldbark, you make it harder for your opponent to land full blows upon you.

Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Undo the spellwork that has left any lingering effects in a location. This will not dispel glyphs unless they are specifically targetted, and dispelling your own glyphs will not consume your equilibrium. You can also cast the dispel upon an aegis to remove the specified glyph from it, though the protective magic of the aegis will make this process take some time.

Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	An aegis typically needs to be attuned to the land so that it can draw upon the mana it needs to operate its defences - but a runecarver can circumvent this requirement in a special manner. By giving it a constant supply of mana from your own reserves, you can have the aegis' defences work wherever you happen to be holding it. This is a channeled operation and most other actions will interrupt the process.

Anyone who enters a room with a horizon rune attached to it will see the illusion upon entry. Only one such horizon can exist in the room, and subsequent runes will drain the power from their predecessors. The horizon can also be attached to an attuned crystal aegis, where it will persist forever or until dispelled. It will only be shown to targets of the aegis in this situation. The dispel ability can be used to remove a horizon prematurely.

Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Sketch an empowering rune upon your hand that will multiply your maledictive magic, thus enacting greater harm upon your enemies. Whenever you cast a hex, the rune will flare and lash out at another random enemy, causing shadow damage. Should you stand in darkness, the rune's light will strike an extra enemy with magic damage. If triggered by the Maledict spell, the toil rune will deal significantly more damage. When used against adventurers, there is a short cooldown before Toil may strike again. Cooldown (adventurers): 2 seconds

Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Drawing upon your mastery of runes, you may create an obscuring fog that will mask the presence of all in your location. Such an illusion will not prevent anyone from attacking others should they know they are there. The Unveil or Dispel abilities can counter an obfuscating rune.

Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	In an impressive feat of spellcraft, you can embed a crystal aegis into the land around you. By attuning it to the leylines that course all throughout the continent, you can keep the aegis permanently supplied with the energy it needs to keep its defences activated. Such an act takes a considerable length of time, and requires your utmost concentration. Once attuned in place, the aegis cannot be moved. You cannot attune an aegis to a room if there is another attuned aegis already placed within a two-room distance. An attuned aegis will only have four of its glyphs activated when set up in this state. Within a city, the help of its pylon can further increase it to all six. During a period of stable activity of the leylines however, an attuned aegis will become dormant due to a lack of energy. Please see AB REFINING FLUXATIONS for more information. To remove an aegis, you can focus on dampening its connection to the leylines. This act will take a much shorter time than attuning, but your utmost concentration is still required. As a mage, you can perform this feat significantly faster than the Survival skill equivalent. Once completed, the crystal aegis will shatter into pieces, destroying it completely. You can also cede ownership of an aegis to any organisation, so long as the aegis has been attuned upon a location that belongs to that organisation. Once the ownership has been ceded, the aegis will instead attack enemies of that organisation, instead of your personal enemies.

Details:	Type: Triggered The observation rune will alert you when it is triggered, informing you of the location and who did it. If traced onto an attuned aegis, this rune will alert the owner of the aegis when a caravan passes through its location (HELP PRODUCTION). If traced onto an attuned aegis that also has its ownership set to an organisation, the observation rune will instead make an alert over that organisation's channel.

Required:
Channels:	{{{channels}}}
Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}
Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Runes are mystical symbols sketched through the air with gem dust and infused with mana. Each rune has a different effect depending on the runic script sketched and the gem dust used to create it. There are currently two types of runes: persistent runes, and triggered runes. Persistent runes will last for a short duration and impose a constant effect upon their location, until they fade from their magic being depleted. Triggered runes will hang in the air until an enemy of yours enters the location, at which point their effect will trigger and the rune will dissipate as its magic depletes. The clarity defence will protect an enemy from being affected by most triggered runes. Each room can only contain two runes, for any more than that would cause the magics to disrupt each other. Both runes must be different. Runes can additionally be sketched onto the facet of a crystal aegis, instead of in the air. When upon an aegis, runes will be permanently powered and no longer fade. Some runes may have a different effect when upon an aegis. An aegis can exist alongside runes sketched in the room.
