Rune-lens

"And what of your precious Rune-lens? Surely you could use some strapping young adventurers to help rebuild it?" This article is missing key information, marking it as incomplete and/or unfinished. Please consider adding additional information to flesh out this article.

Rune-lenses are the backbone of all power in Allraan. Lenses have different significance from nation to nation and culture to culture, but people everywhere have learned to harness their magical power and have handed that wisdom down—whether it’s to cast spells; use supernatural powers; or wield the lens symbolically, claiming the “divine gifts” represent a communion with god. The lenses are commonly crafted into weapons and accessories. However, the Galdean Empire has figured out how to amplify the lenses’ power by placing them inside specially-engineered rings called “regules.”

The most valuable rune-lenses are sometimes handed down through families. There are also some individuals who are born with them inside their bodies. Many heroes bear their own rune-lenses, such as on the back of Marisa’s hand, or in Perrielle’s hairpin. However, some heroes don’t rely on rune-lenses at all.

By the player affixing runes to their heroes’ lenses, they can give them new magics and skills, or perhaps improve their physical abilities. Each hero’s lens is unique and supports runes of different type, rarity, and quantity. Some lenses may already contain a specialized rune that cannot be removed. Others may require runes of a certain type be affixed in specific positions. And when heroes level up, the number of runes their lenses hold can potentially increase.
