Blank Rune, the first tool you need in rune making.
Runes can be further sub categorized into 5 basic component forms.
Each type of rune requires a different minimum level and magic level to use (e.g. an Ultimate Healing Rune requires level 24 and magic level 4 to use). Therefore, if a knight wants to use an Ultimate Healing Rune, they will have to get level 24 and train their magic level at least to 4. A higher magic level increases the effects of the rune.
In order to make a rune, you need to have that rune's specific rune making spell. For example, to make an Intense Healing Rune, you need to buy the "Intense Healing Rune" spell for 600 gp, not just the "Intense Healing" spell bought for 350 gp. When making runes you will use your soul points.
To create a rune, simply speak the spell words while having a blank rune anywhere in your backpack.
Note: As of the 2010 Summer Update, runes and potions have become stackable items. Also you don't have to put the blank rune in your hands anymore since it will be automatically made if you successfully cast the spell while having blank runes in your backpack.
Rune spells always start with Ad.

Be aware there is a small delay when using a rune. They do not fire instantly as they once did.
