It is best to prepare on stave at a time. As an alternative, all members of the group can assemble and finish the Runes in a group ceremonial using group energies. In this setting it is permissible for all the members to take part simultaneously, each finishing one Rune at a time, until they are all done. It is important however that group staves are used for group practices only and that individuals' staves are use only by the person to whom they are tuned. The only exception is where a Rune master of Knight uses his or her own personal set for the ceremonials of the castle.
Similar provisions apply to the use of Thor's Hammer.
Whenever you use the staves, make sure that there is nobody around who may project negative energies or ideas, disbelief, hostility, and so forth, into your Rune staves. Should you suspect, or become aware of too much negative energy building up in your Runes, it will be necessary to de-node, i.e., purify them and then recharge them. Do this one Rune at time.
