On a long rest or down-time, a caster can create a Rune Stone. A rune stone is a small flat stone, no bigger than the palm of the casters hand, that holds a spell until the caster wishes to discharge it. The caster must complete all verbal and semantic components as well as have all material components to create the rune stone. One hour is added to the casting time, and this is used to imbue the rune stone with the spell.
To activate a rune stone, it must be squeezed; therefor non-magical creatures can activate rune-stones (note that for concentration spells the rune must be squeezed for the spell to remain active, for all others it is active for the spells duration). When a rune is used it is considered to be the origin of the spell, therefore A.O.E form around the rune and projectiles originate from the rune. Any spell can be imbued into a rune, so long as the caster can cast it.
Runes are only able to be activated once, after a spells duration is elapsed or a concentration is broken (i.e: when the creature stops squeezing a rune) the rune stone cracks and is now useless.
Rune Casters can only craft 5 runes at a time. No new runes can be crafted until at least one rune is activated and cracks.
At 9th level one of three paths can be chosen: the path of the Rune Keeper, the path of Metamorphosis, or the path of the Tinker.
