There are two types of Rune to place on the Staff. The first are the temporary Battle and Healing Runes which fade once used, or after one adventure. The second are permanent, and can only be placed with the help of another Runesmith. He may have a number of Permanent Runes equal to half his Battle-Level rounded up, plus 1.
Runic Chant of Endurance Seeing the axe descend towards him, the Runesmith pulls an amulet from his jacket and shouts a final, completing phrase, pouring power into the rune engraved on the amulet s surface. Runic Chant of Surety Seeing the barbarian waver from exhaustion and uncertainty, the Runesmith pulls out a piece of flint and scratches a Rune of Surety on his hammer, chanting as he does so.

The Runesmith's Apprentice
The Runesmiths are among the most powerful and respected members of dwarf society. They have the power and knowledge to carve the runes so vital to dwarfish survival, and the age, wealth and skill that make highly esteemed. As well as their knowledge, they are mighty warriors, and are especially renowned for defending against the treacherous sorcery other races use. Dwarfs, of course, do not use magic directly, except for the mad Chaos Dwarfs, who pay for their dabbling with a slow transmutation into stone, according to dwarf legend. The natural dwarf resistance to magic and chaos makes them suited only for a less direct approach; the tapping and trapping of the Winds of Magic into runes. The natural dwarf emphasis on skill and craftsmanship, the long centuries of use and refinement, and the same characteristics that make dwarfs incapable of other magic makes them the perfect and most accomplished creators of runes.
Forging runes is not simply a matter of carving or painting a certain shape- Rune Magic is heavily ritual and requires much patience and experience. The period in which a rune is being inscribed, which usually takes at least a week, is a highly fraught time for the apprentice or apprentices of the Runesmith, who are usually the most talented of his relatives. When not carving their own runes, they will be helping with the ritual chants and rites that empower the runes being placed on whatever item is so honoured. Runesmiths do not simply deal with runes carved into weapons and armour to make them more effective, but the engineering runes that keep the mighty dwarfen constructions working, and the tunnels open and secure. Runes exist in every area of dwarf society, and the Runesmiths are vital not just in warfare and work, but in teaching history and culture, and of course remembering the ancient grudges.
To become a Runesmith, a dwarf must dedicate his life to his craft and work for decades, even centuries under a master, assuming that he is born into a family which is associated with the craft. Even then, they will only know a portion of the rune-lore of the race, which is guarded jealously and hoarded by individual Runelords. Runesmiths are the longest-lived of the race, and are immensely proud and arrogant. The greatest exercises of their power, the Master Runes, are secrets known to only a few, and many such runes have been lost because the Runesmith has died without passing on his knowledge, either through a premature death or because there was none worthy.
Rune-lore has never been a consolidated field of knowledge, and part of an apprentice's training may involve learning the special runes his master uses, or even recovering examples of ancient, lost runes. Runesmiths diligently seek ancient examples of craftsmanship to learn from them. The first place to search for such forgotten treasures is the halls of the dwarf lords now abandoned to monsters. In many cases, before a dwarf hold was over-run, the King and Nobles agreed with the Runesmith to bind their greatest possessions with unbreakable runes to stop them being plundered. Likewise, some Runesmiths encoded their knowledge and left it in the form of riddles and challenges, so that only the worthy would benefit. If an apprentice can recover an example of a lost rune or method, he will achieve much in the eyes of his master and dwarf society as a whole. Thus, it is not unknown for a young Runesmith's Apprentice to go adventuring in the hope of rediscovering some archaic lore or treasure.

Reviews for "The Business of Animatronics: Cost and Return on Investment in Place Depots"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - This Place Depot witch animatronic was a huge disappointment. First of all, the animatronic itself looked nothing like the picture on the website. It was cheaply made and the movement was jerky and unnatural. Additionally, the sound quality of the witch's voice was terrible; it was distorted and hard to understand. Overall, I would not recommend this product as it does not meet the standards advertised.
2. Michael - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Place Depot witch animatronic but was left underwhelmed. The movements were quite slow and didn't look realistic at all. The animatronic also had trouble detecting motion, often missing when people walked by. The sound effects were average, nothing impressive. For the price, I expected a much better quality product.
3. Emma - 2/5 stars - The Place Depot witch animatronic was a disappointment. The arms and head moved smoothly, but the facial expressions lacked detail and the mouth movements were out of sync with the audio. The sensors were also inconsistent, sometimes triggering the animatronic to startle people for no reason, while other times it missed obvious movement. Overall, it did not meet my expectations and I would not recommend it.
