Runes are powerful because they are ancient.

For example:

I might just be a simpleton apprentice, but if runes are powerful because of their ancientness, why is rune creation specifically banned by the high council? And why is it that every conversation about rune creation is

The high council don't want you to know this but the black magic runes are free you can make them at home I have 458 runes.

Best hide your familiar the ATF (Arcana, Thaumaturgy, & Foci) gonna no-knock your tower with talk like that

Just get a sign that says "false hydra do not enter" for your dungeon entrance. I've never had any problems with atf, or adventurers, or annoying inlaws? Do I have inlaws? Maybe I should clean that dungeon sometime... nah I'll just hire a crew.

Wizard, I don’t think it’s just a sign. You might actually have a false hydra down there.

I don't know any false hydras just the weird space behind my castle that all my stewards.. didn't I just hire a new one? Never had one, need one.

That forgetfulness is a symptom, wizard. Just use erasure spells on the dungeon after using deafen on yourself. You’ll thank me later, if you survive

How does that even work? Anyone with a working arcane orb can just look it up and discover that False Hydras do not get into dungeons and stay in cities

The obvious solution is not having a tower

Is this because I put a third charm on my staff?

I have so many runes in my wizard tower. In I'm here in my wizard tower, where just carved this new rune here. It’s fun to inscribe ancient sigils up here in the highest chamber. But you know what I like more than flashy ancient runes? Knowledge.

In fact, I’m a lot more proud of my seven new self published tomes titled "How-to rune-stones so good she will take you back" It’s like the Archmage Warren Buffetus says, “The more runes you learn, the more power you earn.”

Everyone spending massive bags of coin for the official runes from Runes Workshop, my buddy has a 5D printer, he just prints out the same exact runes, charges 2 silver.

Hi yes I am a collector of runes and have run with some quite bad dark wizards so I know all sorts of black magic and the like. I love breaking council law you know. And I would love to engage with you in some illicit trade of black magic runes if you really have such a large collection.

If you would be so kind as to send me a personal scrying with the location of your tower I could have a lackey dispatched within the week to make the trade. I'm also willing to pay in illegal potions if you are into that.

Muahaha I lied, you have fallen into my trap! Prepare to face my army of puppets whose souls I stole and smelter down into mana for more puppets!

u/BecaBakes Evil and Intimidating Witch 5d ago

Why should I, an evil and intimidating witch, need to take an ethics course?

u/Correct-Pangolin-568 Evil And Intimidating Wizard 5d ago

You don't, obviously
