Rune Caster Image
Prerequisite: Requires a Intelligence score of 13 or higher.
 

You learn the art of runic spellcasting. Your Intelligence also increases by 1.

Casting a spell this way allows the spell to be cast without the need of a spell focus as well as verbal, somatic and material components.

The amount of time needed to write out a rune depends on the complexity of the spell (Spell Level). Cantrip is 1 min, 1st is 2 min, 2nd is 4 min, 3rd is 6 min, etc. You may start the process of writing a rune on an object at any time, only once you complete it will the spell activate. If you choose to do this, completing the rune will cost a bonus action. There may be exceptions to this based on how the rune is completed, but that will be up to your DMs discretion.

Completing a rune costs the required spell slot of the person completing it. It does not need to be you, as long as you have instructed another on how to complete the rune. If the person completing the rune does not have access to the required spell slot, it will either use up the total needed of lower-level slots (ex. a 2nd level spell would use two 1st level slots), or take force damage equal to 10 times the spells level (ex. 1st is 10 dmg, 2nd is 20dmg, etc.) You may use both, for example you could cast a 4th level rune by using up two 1st level slots and by taking 20 force damage. Cantrips do not have a cost.

If the person completing the rune is not a spellcaster, the spells modifiers, such as attack roll & DC, will be determined by their Intelligence score.

After the spell has been activated the rune becomes nonmagical.
