|description = From the trunk sprouts a branch
|syntax = RUNECARVE BRANCH [target]
|detail = Create an illusion of yourself or another that will protect you against certain attacks.
Each time it is cast, the ability will consume a charge that will take time to recover. Only one

|skill = Ironbark
|description = Form a protective layer of shieldbark
|syntax = RUNECARVE IRONBARK
|detail = By fortifying your body with a protective layer of shieldbark, you make it harder for
your opponent to land full blows upon you. This defence will grant you a chance to reduce some of
the damage taken from physical attacks as a result, as well as afford you a small layer of physical
protection.

|detail = Carve a rune that designates your target with a hunting mark, making them visible across
the battlefield for some time. The target can then be targetted using the name of the symbol
marking them. You can only have one marker in existence at a time.

|skill = Orison
|description = Beseech the wilds for a minor boon
|syntax =
|detail = Syntax: RUNECARVE ORISON <10-1000>
Through communion with the wilds, you can replenish your mana reserves. This will deplete your
willpower proportional to how much mana you choose to recover.

{{Skill_detail
|skill = Deceive
|description = Weave a clever illusion for your ambushes
|syntax = RUNECARVE DECEIVE <illusion>        RUNECARVE DECEIVE AT <target> <illusion>
|detail = A mainstay of Runecarvers setting ambushes, simple illusions can astound your allies and
confound your enemies.
Note: You can add a new line into your illusion by using the tag $nl within the text, however you
may only do this once.

|description = Tear apart amateurish artifice
|syntax = RUNECARVE UNVEIL HERE        RUNECARVE UNVEIL <aegis> <glyph>        RUNECARVE UNVEIL
<glyph>
|detail = 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.

|description = Embrace the wisdom of the wilds

mana regeneration. You can additionally supply a target to give someone else this benefit.

{{Anchor|Enliven}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Enliven
|description = Fill an aegis with your wild magics
|syntax = RUNECARVE ENLIVEN <aegis>
|detail = 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.

|skill = Majesty
|description = The wild world's vibrant majesty is yours to weave
|syntax =
|detail = Syntax: RUNECARVE DECEIVE [AT <target>] COLOUR:<colour> <text>
While little more than a trick used at campfire gatherings, chromatic illusions can astound those
present with vivid color. There is an increase in equilibrium cost for this effect.

{{Anchor|Lunacy}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Lunacy
|description = Lunar terror is yours to sow
|syntax = RUNECARVE LUNACY <ON/OFF>
|detail = So powerful are your deceptive runes, that you may further imbue them with the maddening
power of the moon. At an increased cost to the spell itself, your reflection will backlash against
all enemies in the room when it expires, draining their mana.

{{Anchor|Legerdemain}}

|skill = Legerdemain
|description = Swiftly carve your tricksome runes
|syntax =
|detail = This ability is passive.
You are now adept enough to be able to place a second reflection upon someone with your Branch rune.
However, this comes at a far greater cost to your equilibrium.

{{Anchor|Stormcloud}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Stormcloud
|description = Join the clouds themselves

|description = A rune representing endless vistas
|syntax = RUNECARVE HORIZON <illusion>
|detail =        RUNECARVE HORIZON COLOUR:<color> <illusion>
        RUNECARVE HORIZON ON AEGIS <illusion>
Form a visual deception from the local energies that will persist for a few minutes before
dissipating. 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.

{{Anchor|Toil}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Toil
|description = Double, double..
|syntax = RUNECARVE TOIL <ON/OFF>
|detail = 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

{{Anchor|Obfuscate}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Obfuscate
|description = Shroud your surroundings in concealing fog
|syntax = RUNECARVE OBFUSCATE
|detail = 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.

{{Anchor|Attunement}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Attunement
|description = Join an aegis to your homeland's soil
|syntax = ATTUNE AEGIS HERE        DAMPEN AEGIS        CEDE AEGIS <org>
|detail = 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.

{{Anchor|Observation}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Observation
|description = Detect those who trespass upon its location
|syntax = SKETCH OBSERVATION        SKETCH OBSERVATION ONTO <aegis>
|detail =
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.

{{Anchor|Runes}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Runes
|description = Sketch magical runes upon your surroundings
|syntax =
|detail = 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.
