Practitioners of Runic Magic control the very building blocks of creation. Runeweavers are arcane spell-casters of incredible power. While there are runes that are of a divine nature and can heal or otherwise manipulate spirit forces, these runes can never be learned by a Runeweaver. Even though they are similar in structure, form, and nature, divine runes are powered by an outside entity and will never work for Runeweavers. Runic Seeds, such as Heal or Life are the province of powers beyond the ability and control of mortal casters.
New spells can be researched using the methods put forth in Developing Runic Spells but they must abide by the above restrictions. Game Masters must adjudicate the appropriate level for created spell effects very carefully. In my test campaigns, my players altered spells and combined seeds into some pretty unique and devastating ways. For creative players, they may seek to stretch a spell beyond the component seeds and restrictions. The Game Master is the final arbiter of the final level of the rune as well as even IF it can be taught to another. In all cases, rune spells can't be taught to another if they lack some fundamental understanding required to cast the component parts.
Words marked with an asterisk (*) are boosted versions of lower level words. A runecaster only needs to learn the base version of a word in order to be able to cast its boosted versions.
