Runesmith

Runesmiths combine magic with language. They imbue objects with magic not by incantation and altering the flow of magics to their purpose but by using the natural magics inherent with words and applying them to the objects. You can tell an experienced Runesmith by the number of languages they know. Highly skilled Runesmiths know many languages from which to pull from depending on their party or clients.
