(7.8c) Runespell Tables ----------------------- Runecraft enables a breadth of effects, catalogued in the tables below. Elements -------- A table of every projectable element accessed through one or two rune skills. Weight is the relative base damage for an element, which is similar to the maximum damage caps listed in section (5.6). ie. Fire damage >> Mana damage! Artifacts and certain items may be unaffected by the various elemental effects. See section (5.6) for more information about elemental attacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rune | Rune | Element | Weight | Special Effect | Affects ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light | Light | Light | 400 | Blindness | Darkness | Darkness | Darkness | 550 | Blindness | Nexus | Nexus | Nexus | 250 | Tele/Stats | Most Items Nether | Nether | Nether | 550 | EXP Drain | Chaos | Chaos | Chaos | 600 | Hallucination | Mana | Mana | Mana | 600 | | Most Items ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light | Darkness | Confusion | 400 | Confusion | Light | Nexus | Inertia | 200 | Slow | Light | Nether | Electricity | 1200 | DEX Drain | Jewelry/Device Light | Chaos | Fire | 1200 | STR Drain | Flammables Light | Mana | Water | 300 | Confusion/Stun | Scrolls Darkness | Nexus | Gravity | 150 | Tele/Slow/Stun | Most Items Darkness | Nether | Cold | 1200 | STR Drain | Potions Darkness | Chaos | Acid | 1200 | CHR Drain | Many Items Darkness | Mana | Poison | 800 | Poison | Nexus | Nether | Time | 150 | Drain | Nexus | Chaos | Sound | 400 | Stun | Potions Nexus | Mana | Shards | 400 | Cuts | Potion/Scrolls Nether | Chaos | Hellfire | 400 | Slay Good | Most Items Nether | Mana | Force | 250 | Stun | Many Items Chaos | Mana | Disenchantment | 500 | Cancellation | Magical Items Spell Modes ----------- A table of every runespell mode.

Sigil Boni ---------- A table cross referencing boni to element and item TVAL (type value). Boni are restricted as with artifact creation regarding PVAL modifiers. Stat enhancing boni have a chance to include a sustain, and boni occuring both generally and on the item type specifically are more likely to occur. Some weapon/helm boni are specific to staves, boomerangs, and crowns (see (9.4) Artifact creation). All elements associated with a specific resistance may confer that resistance. The 'Any' column indicates boni which are not restricted to a specific type of equipment, and can thus appear on any type of item. If a boni is listed both in this column and the column for a specific equipment type, it is more likely to be conferred to that type of equipment (at twice the probability).
