Infernal Runes

Overview

Infernal Runes, sometimes referred to as Demonic Runes, are magical words burned into the flesh to give the marked extra abilities or protection. Anyone with the ability to take on runes can be inscribed without a single point to this Skill, but only with points in this skill can you actually write the runes. That said, there are a few requirements before you can use this skill.

Requirements: It must say in your racial passive that you can utilize infernal runes. In addition, you must know the Infernal (Devil) language and the Runic language.

Races: Humans (Destructive Nature only), Bui (Cannot inscribe, only be inscribed with Tier 5 or lower), Archons (Infernal Mutation only), Forsaken (Infernal Ones only), Devils

Rules

You must have the appropriate skill level to inscribe a rune. Creation of a rune requires the use of specific reagents, listed under each rune. After a certain amount of time, given in the runes description, the rune will fade away. Runes with an activated effect fade immediately after using. Only three runes of either type (Angelic or Infernal) can be inscribed on a person at a time.

All "activations" of a rune in battle require a Quick Action unless otherwise noted.

You cannot apply runes in the middle of a quest unless the GM specifically declares a "break" or lull in the story where your characters can do things like this.

You can remove a rune which has not finished its duration as long as you have the skill requirement to inscribe it.
