If these runes are small enough to fit on the palm or back of a hand, we should be able to get at least a dozen on each side of our torso, plus a bunch over our limbs.

Most runes can be written very small, but they get more difficult to manage the more you have.

When we activate runes (on a whim), how do we do that? Do we have to move magical energy, or focus on it, or...?

Magical energy in your body is transferred to the runes. This becomes more difficult the more runes you have, because it gets harder to distinguish them. The runes can also be damaged easily, a single cut can stop a rune from working or make it work wrong.

This shouldn't be too hard...

Look up a rune for enhancing focus. Also a few defensive runes.

+1. "Amplificatio/Potentia Mentalis" and "Potentia Ignis Tutamen" perhaps? Also, a "tempus" rune of some sort would be nice, along with the aforementioned Volito one. Also, can we erase runes and replace them with new ones?

[Devastator]

you know, if more runes make it harder to use, shouldn't we save them for things we can't learn?  We can learn to be a better fighter.  And the slime thing might help with that.

We can't learn everything. We should focus on what we're good at, especially when that lets us do everything.

[Devastator]

well.. runes don't let us do everything.  They don't let us shape the battlefield, for example.  We can do more than just zap things at the enemy.  Flight would be good, that's something we can't do otherwise.. but we would still be hosed if we're whacked in melee.  Sure, we can't learn everything, but it is really beneficial in combat to have hidden reserves, so to speak, that is, additional options that we do not advertise.  Runes are sort of static, we would have fixed abilities, fixed weapons, etcetera, and learning things that can be used with them would multiply their usefulness.  It doesn't matter if we have the best gun in the world if we can never get in a position to use it.

Why not? We've been doing basically that with the deoxygenation rune and that new rune for turning the ground to air.

Flight would be good, that's something we can't do otherwise.. but we would still be hosed if we're whacked in melee.

...How will they whack us if we're flying?

Sure, we can't learn everything, but it is really beneficial in combat to have hidden reserves, so to speak, that is, additional options that we do not advertise.

Assuming it doesn't detract from our primary combat abilities too much, aye.

Runes are sort of static, we would have fixed abilities, fixed weapons, etcetera, and learning things that can be used with them would multiply their usefulness. It doesn't matter if we have the best gun in the world if we can never get in a position to use it.

Please explain both what we should learn and what you're worried about. It doesn't matter if you only have one gun if it always works, after all. (And it doesn't matter if you only have a dozen if one always works.)

 A rune for enhancing focus... You never heard of it before -- you don't even know if it's possible. You stride across rows of bookshelves searching for a book until you find a book titled Runic Magic on the Mind. You flip open to the first page and read the introduction. It says that sadly, it is not possible to enhance your mind with magic. That's not really a shocker, you think.

Study up on slightly more advanced Runic Magic Techniques

[GreatWyrmGold]

Prove them wrong! Study the workings of the mind.

If you don't come up with a good reason, we will try. Sometimes we'll keep trying if you do.

Greetings, Bay Watcher!

This is a "suggestion game". That means that there aren't players who each control their own character, but rather a single character that the consensus of everyone controls.
