The Orb of the Stein Rune is a powerful artifact that holds great significance in mystical and magical practices. The rune itself represents strength, stability, and protection, and when combined with the orb, it creates a potent talisman of immense power. Legend has it that the orb was crafted by an ancient civilization known as the Steinra, who were renowned for their mastery of runic magic. They imbued the orb with their knowledge and infused it with the essence of the Stein Rune, allowing it to harness and amplify the energies associated with this symbol. The orb is said to possess the ability to ward off negative energies and provide a protective shield to its bearer. It is believed to enhance one's physical strength, mental acuity, and spiritual connection.

Rune Scribe (5e Subclass)

A rune scribe masters the secrets of the runes of power – ancient sigils that embody the fundamental magic of creation. Rune magic is exceedingly rare: some of its secrets have been lost, and what lore remains is jealously guarded. Few rune scribes share their lore with others. Indeed, most rune scribes take on new students only if doing so allows them to gain access to a forgotten or missing rune.

Scribe’s Tools

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Calligrapher’s supplies, mason’s tools, and woodcarver’s tools.

Rune Scribe Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Artillerist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

At 5th level, you learn the basics of scribing runes, and are able to activate a master rune’s range of simple properties when you are attuned to it. You learn four master runes as Artificer Infusions. They do not count toward the number of infusions known, but they do count toward the maximum number of infused items you can have as shown on the Artificer table. You can only attune to one master rune at a time, and only you can attune to them. Master runes are magical items with the following descriptions:

• Opal of the Ild Rune - Master rune, rare (requires attunement) This triangular fire opal measures about three inches on each side and is half an inch thick. The ild rune – the rune of fire – shimmers within its core. Grasping this object causes a split second of searing, fiery pain to pass through you. That pain quickly fades, giving way to a warming glow.
  • Ignite (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe the ild rune using ash onto a flammable object. That object immediately bursts into flame. While it burns, the fire extends 1 foot out from the rune you scribed.
  • Fire Tamer (Simple Property). As an action, you touch an open flame and scribe the ild rune within it with a hand motion. This causes the flame to immediately extinguish. For a large blaze, the fire is extinguished in a 10-foot radius around you. You can extend this distance by expending a spell slot when using the ild rune in this manner. The radius extends by 10 feet per level of the expended spell slot.
  • Fire’s Friend (Simple Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you have resistance to cold damage.
  • Orb of the Stein Rune - Master rune, rare (requires attunement) This spherical chunk of granite is about the size of a human fist. The stein rune – the rune of stone – appears on the orb as crystalline veins that play across its surface. When first grasped, the stone feels impossibly heavy, as if even a titan could not lift it. That feeling passes after a moment, allowing you to carry the stone with ease.
    • Indomitable Stand (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe the stein rune onto the ground at your feet. Until you move, you have advantage on all ability checks and saving throws to resist effects that would force you to move. In addition, any creature that moves within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or their movement speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their turn.
    • Stone's Secrets (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe this rune onto a stone wall or floor. You learn the location and size of all creatures standing on or touching that surface within 30 feet of you, though only for the moment when the property is used.
    • Stone Soul (Simple Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you cannot be petrified.
    • Pennant of the Vind Rune - Master rune, rare (requires attunement) This five-foot-long blue pennant is crafted from silk and whips about as if buffeted by a strong breeze. The vind rune – the rune of wind – flickers across its surface like a shimmering cloud. Grasping the pennant causes you to feel a powerful gust of wind wash over you, tearing at your clothes and gear. Anyone watching you sees nothing out of the ordinary, and the sensation passes after a moment.
      • Wind Step (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe the vind rune in the air around you and immediately fly up to 20 feet. If you do not land at the end of this flight, you fall.
      • Wind’s Grasp (Simple Property). As a reaction when you fall, you can scribe this rune in the air around you to take no damage from the fall.
      • Comforting Wind (Simple Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you cannot suffocate or drown, and you gain advantage on saving throws against poisonous gases, inhaled poisons, and similar effects.
      • Shard of the Kalt Rune - Master rune, rare (requires attunement) This long, slender shard of ice is roughly the size of a dagger. The kalt rune – the rune of ice – glows within the shard. When first grasped, the shard emits a painful cold that leaves your hand and arm numb. That feeling passes after a moment, allowing the shard to be handled normally.
        • Frigid Touch (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe the kalt rune on the surface of any volume of water. The water freezes in a 10-foot radius around the spot where you scribed the rune. You can extend this distance by expending a spell slot when using the kalt rune in this manner. The radius extends by 10 feet per level of the expended spell slot.
        • Icy Mantle (Simple Property). As an action, you scribe the kalt rune using water onto yourself or another creature. The water instantly freezes into a mantle of protective ice that does not hinder movement or action. The next time the creature takes bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage from a weapon attack, that damage is reduced to zero and the icy mantle is destroyed.
        • Frost Friend (Simple Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you have resistance to fire damage.

        Runic Discovery
        

        At 9th level, you discover the master runes’ more complex effects. While attuned to the appropriate rune, you gain the following benefits:

        • Opal of the Ild Rune
          • Combustion (Complex Property). As an action, you scribe this rune using ash onto a creature within your reach as you expend a spell slot. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot). On a failed save, it takes 2d8 fire damage plus 1d8 fire damage per level of the expended spell slot and takes an additional 1d8 fire damage on the beginning of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature takes half as much damage and does not take any additional damage.
          • Flame Brand (Complex Property). Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune using ash onto a melee or ranged weapon, or onto up to 20 pieces of ammunition. The weapon or ammunition gains a ghostly aura of yellow flame and deals fire damage instead of piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning damage. In addition, you can expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher while using this property to grant the weapon or ammunition a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. This bonus increases by 1 for every slot level above 3rd. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again.
          • Flame Stoker (Complex Property). While you are attuned to this rune, your fire attacks are deadlier. Whenever you roll fire damage from an attack or a spell you cast, you can reroll that damage and use the higher result.
          • Orb of the Stein Rune
            • Overwhelming Bolt (Complex Property). As an action, you scribe this rune using dirt or crushed rock onto a creature within your reach as you expend a spell slot. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot). On a failure, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage plus 1d8 bludgeoning damage per level of the expended spell slot and is knocked prone. On a successful saving throw, the creature takes half as much damage and is not knocked prone.
            • Crushing Brand (Complex Property). Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune using dirt or crushed stone onto one weapon that deals bludgeoning damage. The weapon gains a ghostly brown aura, and bludgeoning damage dealt by the weapon ignores resistance and immunity. If you roll the maximum on the weapon’s damage die or dice, the target of your attack is knocked prone if it is a creature. In addition, you can expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher while using this property to grant the weapon or ammunition a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. This bonus increases by 1 for every slot level above 3rd. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again.
            • Earthen Step (Complex Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you can cast Meld into Stone as a bonus action. You regain this ability after a short or long rest.
            • Pennant of the Vind Rune
              • Shrieking Bolt (Complex Property). As an action, you scribe this rune in the air between you and a creature you can see while you expend a spell slot. The creature must make a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the spell slot’s level). On a failure, it takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage plus 1d8 bludgeoning damage per level of the expended spell slot, and is pushed in a straight line directly away from you for 10 feet per level of the expended spell slot. On a successful saving throw, the creature takes half as much damage and is not pushed away from you.
              • Howling Brand (Complex Property). Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune in the air above one ranged weapon. The weapon gains a ghostly blue aura and has its normal and maximum range doubled. The weapon’s attacks do not suffer disadvantage due to range. In addition, you can expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher while using this property to grant the weapon or ammunition a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. This bonus increases by 1 for every slot level above 3rd. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again.
              • Wind Walker (Complex Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you can cast levitate as a bonus action. You regain this ability after a short or long rest.
              • Shard of the Kalt Rune
                • Freezing Bolt (Complex Property). As an action, you scribe this rune using water onto a creature within your reach as you expend a spell slot. The rune freezes in place, and the creature must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot). On a failure, the creature takes 2d8 cold damage plus 1d8 cold damage per level of the expended spell slot, and its speed is reduced to 0 until the end of your next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature takes half as much damage and its speed is not affected.
                • Ice Brand (Complex Property). Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune using water onto a melee or ranged weapon, or onto up to 20 pieces of ammunition. The weapon or ammunition gains a ghostly white aura and deals cold damage instead of piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning damage. In addition, you can expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher while using this property to grant the weapon or ammunition a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. This bonus increases by 1 for every slot level above 3rd. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again.
                • Winter’s Howl (Complex Property). While you are attuned to this rune, you can cast Sleet Storm as an action. You regain this ability after a short or long rest.

                At 15th level, you attain the ability to master an ever-greater range of runic magic. You can be attuned to any number of master runes at a time, instead of one.

                Storm King's Thunder

                Ages ago, giants and dragons waged war across the Savage Frontier. These battles are long forgotten by the human civilizations of today, but ancient relics remain. And now, the land shudders once more with the thunder of giant footsteps.

                Hill giants raid farms for food and livestock, as stone giants lay waste to settlements in their path. Frost giants plunder coastal towns, as fire giants gather slaves. Cloud giant castles drift across the sky, casting ominous shadows on the cities of the North. But no threat compares to the wrath of the storm giants, who stand betrayed.

                Puny adventurers must rise to the challenge, gather their strength, unlock the power of ancient runes, and take the fight to the giants' doorsteps. Only then can they discover a hidden evil fomenting a war between giants and small folk. Only then can they forge an alliance to end the war before it begins.

                  Reviews for "The Orb of the Stein Rune: A Key to Unlocking Hidden Knowledge"

                  1. Eric - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Orb of the Stein Rune". The plot was confusing and the characters felt flat. It seemed like the author was trying too hard to create a mysterious and intricate world, but it just ended up being convoluted and hard to follow. I struggled to stay engaged with the story and the ending left me unsatisfied. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book.

                  2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I couldn't even finish "Orb of the Stein Rune". The writing was incredibly amateurish and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. The characters were one-dimensional and their motivations were unclear. The pacing was inconsistent, with long stretches of tedious exposition followed by rushed action scenes. It felt like the author had a good concept but couldn't execute it properly. I was thoroughly unimpressed and would not recommend wasting your time on this book.

                  3. Jason - 2/5 stars - "Orb of the Stein Rune" had a promising premise, but it fell short in execution. The world-building was weak and the magic system felt underdeveloped and poorly explained. The protagonist was unrelatable and made questionable decisions throughout the story. The prose was also awkward at times, making it difficult to immerse myself in the narrative. Overall, I found the book to be lackluster and failed to live up to its potential. I wouldn't recommend it to others.

                  4. Michelle - 3/5 stars - While "Orb of the Stein Rune" had an interesting concept, I found the pacing to be off. The story started off slow and took a while to pick up, leaving me feeling bored and disinterested for a significant portion of the book. Additionally, the character development was minimal, and I didn't feel connected to any of the protagonists. The writing style was also repetitive, with certain phrases and descriptions being overused. Overall, it was an average read but not something I would actively recommend to others.
