A rune mage is a practitioner of ancient magic who harnesses the power of runes to cast spells and manipulate the elements. Outwardly, a rune mage may exhibit certain characteristics and traits that represent their connection to this magical practice. One common outward trait of a rune mage is the presence of intricate symbols and markings on their body. These runes are often tattooed onto the skin or etched into pieces of jewelry or clothing. The symbols themselves are derived from ancient languages and carry specific meanings and energies. These markings serve as a physical representation of the mage's connection to the magical realm and can enhance their spellcasting abilities.

This runic magic expansion allows a runic mage to fight as a mage (including the running!). There are two major improvements. The first is having elemental attunement allowing the caster to use Light, Ice, Decay, Ethereal and Fire in the spells. The spells affected are the runic missiles, the runic traps and the runic blades.

The runic blades now have mana efficiency at a similar level as other equipment; one-handed is +10 and the two-handed is at +20.

The second major improvement is the summoned bow. The summoned bow is available with a mana efficiency of +20 BUT it also acts as a Lexicon. This is the great news!! With this bow, the caster can target enemies with spells as a bow targets enemies in zoom mode. As a recommendation, using Hunter's Eye, you can lock onto a target at a far greater distance to cast projectile spells. And adjust the position of the spell on the target like a bow!

There is also summonable mage armor. The summoned items will appear in your inventory and they only last for 15 minutes (or longer if you log out and come back in, weird).

With this mod, it is a process to become a powerful mage. There is a "treasure" hunt for power and it starts with a trainer in a dungeon near Cierzo.

Included is a spreadsheet which has the rune combinations for the spells in a couple of formats.

I would like to thank Azrieldemortis (Unlimited Rune Works) and NocturnalTrance (Runic Magic Revamped) for their mods which helped me develop this mod. This mod was written entirely using SideLoader. Thank you very much sinaidev for this programming interface.

This mod is not compatible with other mods which update the runic magic system. I've also tweaked the in-game Scholar armor set, which I cloned for the summoned armor. I also gave the Lexicon and Light Bender's Lexicon a boost in mana efficiency, +5 to both.

Now, go out and fight like a mage!!

If you would you like to contact me regarding this mod, I can be reached in Discord. Mention me in a note: @dwoemer.

The Coolest and Most Powerful Skill Tree in all of Outward: The Rune Sage

Outward is an adventure role-playing game with various skill trees that offer unique abilities. One of the coolest and most powerful skill trees in the game is the Rune Sage. In this article, we will dive into the intricacies of the Rune Sage skill tree and explore its different abilities and combinations.

These markings serve as a physical representation of the mage's connection to the magical realm and can enhance their spellcasting abilities. In addition to these physical adornments, a rune mage may also display a certain aura or presence that is distinct from other magic practitioners. This aura can be felt by those around them and may convey a sense of power and wisdom.

Introduction

Before we Delve into the details of the Rune Sage skill tree, it is essential to understand some basic concepts. Firstly, mana is crucial for utilizing the skills in this tree. Each skill requires a certain amount of mana, so it is vital to have a sufficient mana pool. Additionally, You need to equip a lexicon or rune book in your left HAND to cast the skills. Lexicons can be purchased from Mage merchants throughout the game.

It is said that this aura is a result of the mage's alignment with the forces of nature and the underlying energy of the world. A rune mage's outward appearance may also reflect their affinity for the elements. It is not uncommon for a mage to be seen wearing robes or accessories in colors that correspond to the elements they are most attuned to. For example, a mage who is skilled in manipulating fire magic may opt for clothing in shades of red, while a mage who specializes in water magic may choose shades of blue. Furthermore, a rune mage often carries tools and objects that are essential to their magic practice. These tools can include a staff engraved with runic symbols, a set of stones or crystals that hold magical properties, or even a book of spells and rituals. The presence of these objects serves as a physical representation of the mage's dedication to their craft and their proficiency in using these implements to channel and amplify their magical energy. Overall, a rune mage's outward appearance and demeanor are key indicators of their connection to magic and their expertise in using runes to cast spells. Through their physical adornments, aura, affinity for specific elements, and use of magical tools, a rune mage outwardly represents their commitment and skill in the ancient art of rune magic..
