Given the compartmentalization of the world, this would make a totally banging MUD.

"Hmm..."

Kin tried to put the big hat in the larger circle and reactivated it. If that would not work he did the same same thing over again, A16, B1, but put the hat in the larger circle before activating it.

"Damnit. I think this one requires page 4 runes..."Use my ring to will the door to the house and the windows shut, then draw circle.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

"Aye aye, captain!" Glassco sets about landing the ship, by that I mean he makes Sparky land, then set the ship down, then move away from the ship. Glassco points at Sparky and says a word. "Best see if I can do this, that way I won't have to bother with keeping him under my thumb and free up my mind for a few other tasks."

((Just to make sure, it's only the runes that use up my pool, right? Circles don't?))
"The only logical course of action is to start randomly scratching circles on the ground until something happens."
I'll take a quick look around the room to see if I'm in any danger, then I'll scratch another circle and activate it when it's done.

2.Costs and Cooperation:
Unlike words which are always instant and always cost 1 point, circles can cost many points and take several turns to make. However, these costs, both in time and points, can be lowered substantially by cooperating with another player. If 2 people work together the circle is completed twice as fast and each person need only pay half the point cost. If three people work together it goes three times as fast, is split 3 ways, etc. This means that a few people working together can do a hell of a lot more with runes and circles then they could do individually with words.
((And that is why it's good to work with a team if you're doing runes. Team Bismuth does rune science. Join team Bismuth!|!htumsiB meat noiJ))

((I can't reveal the how without revealing knowledge gained by other teammates, however I will tell you this: there is a way of predicting how much pool and time a circle or rune costs. You can either experiment a bit and find out for yourself or you can join a team that knows about that.))

((Eh. Just get me to somewhere I can do something. Three straight turns of not shooting lightning from my tongue is starting to get tedious.))

Fly away, or down. Or spiral out of control. Whatever gets me out of the chronological void I am somehow floating in. AND ACTUALLY DO IT. CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED AND TIME-STOPS DISREGARDED.
