Rune of Warning (ᛉ) Defense begins with awareness

2
A consumable charm in the shape of a round shield with an Algiz (ᛉ) rune that lets you detect all nearby beings who intend to harm you.
Created by EvilRicktator.
(This Effect has no explicit visibility requirement.)

This charm typically comes on a necklace or bracelet of some kind, potentially with other consumable rune charms. When an enemy approaches in an otherwise calm situation it becomes noticeably warm to the user, imbuing them with instinctive knowledge on the relative location of the new nearby threat. The holder may choose to release the stored magic in the charm, causing it to fracture across the embossed rune, but giving them an expanded and innate sense of all threatening beings within its sphere of influence for an hour. This renders the charm inert.


Use up this charm in the shape of a round shield with an Algiz (ᛉ) rune and spend an Action.

You automatically detect all beings who intend to harm you within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

If no beings who intend to harm you targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

  • This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.

An inexperienced Isaac performed a ritual early into his study, one of his firsts. Looking back, it was stupid of him to attempt a ritual like this, it could have easily killed him, and condemned his soul for eternity. This ritual involved rubbing the ashes from cremated eyeballs on his own, under a supermoon. These eyes came from a lesser god known as Macula the Fearful, a lesser god that was killed by another, Issac was merely the vulture feasting on his corpse.

The humming usually reflects the general mood of those in it's initial range. An angry crowd will cause the user to feel compelled to hum a loud and dissonant tone, while more peaceful groups will inspire light and steadier tones. If there's no mood to read, or there is a sufficient mix of emotions, the caster will end up humming the last song that was stuck in their head. Mercifully, it is guaranteed to not get stuck again from this exercise.
