Runes

### How do they work?

Runes are ancient blood being written on bones of powerful beasts. These specific combinations grant the user special powers. Powers beyond spells.

Some Runes need to be cast so they need to be activated like spells.

Some Runes are automatic so they will automatically do their affect.

Rune Slots - the number of times runes can cast.

Rune Slots regenerate every 10 turns. They only regenerate one at a time. It is only the most recently used rune. If another Rune Slot is used while others are regenerating the rune slot currently regenerating and all rune slots in the cue for regeneration will all be lost and need to be regained through a short or long rest.

### What are they?

#### Mind Rune

The caster can get the truth to one yes or no question from one target. This takes 3 turns of continued concentrated contact on a target. They can be conscious, or unconscious but not dead. The answer must be correct, in this state the target can't lie. The target needs to pass a Wis check of 12 or higher, if they fail the power succeeds.

This Rune needs to be cast.

#### Drain Rune

The caster upon contact with the target can take one of the target's spell slots for that long rest. The target will gain it back after a long rest and the user will loose it after its use unless there is a long rest between the user gaining it and its casting in which case the user looses the spell slot.

#### Counter Rune

When the caster takes a physical hit they can return the damage (equal to its potential, like if it was a 1d6 damage move the caster returns 1d6 damage) to a previously specified target (this target needs to be specified the turn before).
