A '''runestone''' is a stone with a magical [[rune]] drawn upon it. To determine which rune is on the stone, [[READ (verb)|read]] it. They are commonly used as a component in the following spells:
{|
|
* [[Spirit Servant (218)]]
* [[Major Sanctuary (220)]]
* [[Scroll Infusion (714)]]
|
* [[Minor Summoning (725)]]
* [[Call Familiar (920)]]
* [[Familiar Gate (930)]]
|}
=== Required Supplies ===
To create a runestone, one must acquire the following items, available at a local alchemist.
* a brush (reusable)
* a container of ink (X dips each)
* a container of water (Y dips each)
* a prepared stone or runestone upon which to draw the rune

=== Drawing Runes ===
Alchemists sell runestones which are ready to be drawn upon, however it is typically cheaper to create your own. To do so, treat a [[smooth stone]] or any [[gem]] with "[[stone]]" as its noun with an [[aish'vrak potion]]. You will see a "greenish-blue mist" rise from the stone, indicating it is ready to be drawn upon. To draw the rune itself:

* Apply ink to the brush: {{boldmono|[[DIP (verb)|DIP]] MY BRUSH INTO MY <ink container>}}

* Draw the desired rune upon it: {{boldmono|[[DRAW (verb)|DRAW]] <rune name> RUNE}}

<pre{{log2}}>
>draw geyser rune on my crystal with my brush
You carefully trace out the shape of the geyser rune with your thanot rune brush, forming a near-perfect depiction of it on the surface of your translucent crystal.
Roundtime: 10 sec.

>look my crystal
Scrawled on the surface of the crystal, you recognize the "geyser" rune.
</pre>

* You may draw two runes with each application of ink.

* Then the brush must be cleaned before applying ink again: {{boldmono|[[DIP (verb)|DIP]] MY BRUSH INTO MY <water container>}}. Water can be purchased at the Alchemist.

<pre{{log2}}>
>draw sun rune
The ink on the thanot rune brush is dried, and will need to be cleaned off first.

>dip brush in cup
You dip your brush in a sturdy glaes cup, rinsing it in water.

>look my brush
The brush's bristles are clean and smooth.
</pre>

* The containers of ink and water can be consolidated by{{boldmono| [[POUR]]ing }}containers of the same type into each other.

=== Using the Runestone ===
The number of [[charges]], and verb to activate each runestone is based on the rune drawn upon it. Generally, you will need to{{boldmono| [[RUB]]}},{{boldmono| [[WAVE]]}}, or{{boldmono| [[CAST]] }}at them. For Spirit Servant, simply prepare and cast the spell (218) while holding the stone. Although no particular skills are required to write a known runestone, [[Arcane Symbols]] training is needed read and use one.

Runestones will always crumble when their charges have been depleted, and there is no method to determine how many charges remain.
