Runes / Elder Futhark

The Germanic believed in runes and glyphs, Elder Futhark, which were believed to give them blessings in battle, good luck, and even magical properties. This is the concept behind runes.

Runes that can be attached to upgraded equipment that increase/enhance Skills in the Skill Tree. This would be a follow up to the new Skill Tree suggestion.

Runes would come in different sizes and can be combined to create larger runes. The runes provide different skill/effect advantages based on the type of equipment they are attached to.

The runes for the image would look like the old ancient runes, which were typically carved into stone or the object they were blessing.

Example:
Fehu: ᚠ

• Means: wealth

• Attached To:

  • Helm: +10% coin gain in all forms

  • Chest: +10 coins gained from Arena

  • Feet: +1 to Abundance Skill

  • etc…

Thurisaz: ᚦ

• Means: Thorn, Protection

• Attached to:

  • Chest: +5% increased mitigation

  • Shield: Deal 5% damage back to attackers when guarding

  • Feet: Reduce damage from Guard Damage (spikes, shield slam, skills) by 25%

  • etc…

    
    

Can also require a new asset/material, Ink, or use an existing to reflect it being carved or molded into equipment.
