Rune List

The Rune Magic System is a detail system, with many stuff to cover. Below are infomation like name of the rune, price (if avaiable) for buying and selling, the location of the rune, and the effect or spells of the rune.

Do note that some characters will never get their final spell (unless you use the level 99 cheat), due to the fact their magic level will remain low enough to not earn the fourth spell. And remember to check the tutor to see if a character is good with that magic type before equipping.
