== Runefist ==
As the Empire reeled from both the death of an Emperor and the revelation that the Empire was not impervious to outside threats, its inside threats grew extremely interested in this new type of magic. As magic was forbidden to be practiced without an Imperial sanction, and all previous forms of magic had been extremely obvious to even an untrained eye, the opportunity to covertly harness these energies was too much to pass up. As the Imperial Mages were imposing martial law in the cities of Njord, dark cartels and mysterious orders alike were mustering their forces of new secret warriors - using the recently-revealed bodyforms. Once the fighting started, things quickly escalated. Imperial forces were pushed out of the regions around Sarasso’s Sea and Gotia, and commanders willingly abandoned those enclaves to assist back home. The long civil war sent many fleeing Njord as its cities burned themselves, and when it ended fully half of the Empire had been lost. The Mages were desperate to get the final word and set about searching for a key to restore their power in the world.

Method: Like the Somat, the Runefist uses Bodyforms to cast magical abilities, but focus this power into close combat abilities.
