==Runes==

Runes derive their power from the blood, pain and sacrifice of the bare hands that carved their intricate shapes and the force of will that drove the writer to complete the agonising task as well as the magical properties of the medium it is written in.

Due to their nature, the power contained in each unique rune is bound metaphysically to the ideal perfect characterization of the original hand that crafted it and gave it meaning, as such great care must be taken to craft each replica rune in the similar ritualized manner into the original medium it was written in and as closely as possible to the original rune’s likeness or to one of its evolved derivatives.

In essence, each replica carving or printing of a rune is a gateway to well of magic, physical force, energy or even abstract concepts that the original ancient writers wished to invoke. Any imperfections and irregularities will influence the magnitude and direction of its magic or supernatural power. Thus knowing all the different variations and evolutions of a rune is a scholarly and meticulous pursuit.

As an example, a rune that represents strength will give superhuman strength to the body it is tattooed to, or greater tensile strength to a material it is etched in.

Conversely, a rune of sharpness will give the mind of the body it is tattooed to, greater intelligence or cunning, while increasing the hardness and thus sharpness of a material it is etched in.

The communication leylines are system of runes that describe emptiness and uncertainty, these runes are gateways to perfect or near perfect empty black boxes where quantum entanglement and teleportation is exploited to transmit information instantly.

The barrier leylines exploit runes that represent nothingness and the void, they are gateways to stable singularities that can fold and bend space-time. Many derivative and accented characters of these runes have been discovered and developed that can bend and fold space-time in almost any spatial direction.
  
The perfect ideal characterization of a barrier rune will literally summon a black hole into existence as soon as rune is completed and has never been found or formulated to date.
