Heya!

I've made some modifications to Runebound to significantly smooth it out for readers. Many of these have been suggested by you, and some are just me fixing things I should have fixed earlier. 

I've listed them all below for your convenience so you don't have to re-read everything :)

- Removed 'average' runes, as they weren't really being used and didn't serve a purpose beyond bloat

- Noah's class is JUST Todd & Isabel right now. No other students are mentioned for the time being. 

- Great Runes are now called Master Runes so they aren't so similar to Greater Runes. 

- Some extra info in chapter 7 about how the magic system works, just to smooth out explanation. I think all readers at this point already understand it, but it'll help new ones. 

- Noah now has actual reasoning for keeping his Ash runes (He originally plans to hold onto them since they're his strongest ones now, but isn't dead set on keeping them yet). 

- More explanation of the Soul Damage Insanity that Noah suffers in the mid Chapter 20s. Again, all readers at this point should probably know all this, but improvements for new readers. 

- For anyone that missed it, Moxie no longer knows for certain that Noah killed Vermil. He used a Ship of Theseus analogy to talk about it and it's pretty clear Moxie understood, but they've no longer got an explicit statement where Noah says he killed Vermil. Just keeps things more open. 

I think that's it!

If you see something I fixed in response to your comment and forgot, please let me know hahaha. Also, feel free to use this as another question page if you've got things you want to ask. Read comments at your own risk. SPOILERS. 

Also, got some more stuff coming for everyone soon. Good stuff. You'll like it. Can't say more yet. 

Thanks for your support all,

Actus

+1 to the last 5 changes. those should help with the story's flow as well

Wait, what was the ash rune explanation changed to then? Also, and dont take this the wrong way but. . .master runes? Lmao c'monnn it just sounds so goofy. There has to be a cooler name than pokeball tiers. Like transcendent or some such.

Actus

The ash explanation was originally that he 100% planned to keep the ash runes, but it wasn’t really said why. Now he is keeping them for the time being, but not set on using them. So basically just more flexible. …okay yeah it does sound a bit pokeybally. I’ll think about a better name LMAO

So whats the difference between Master runes and Greater runes then? And which ones are stronger?

Chillitsagame

From what we have seen from sunder, it looks like these master runes are just dangerous to the user as well as the targets right? Maybe Perilous runes?

BubblyGhost

What gave you the impression that they're all dangerous to the user? My thought was, for our protagonist specifically, he's simply a weak tier 1 atm.

Andrei

Concerning runes: if they disappear once slotted (though the mechanism is very confusing since the way to slot them is to immagine them in your mind, so where would be the connection? Are Greater Fire Runes different from each other from the standpoint of the design?) then the previous statement of "Who will find out?" is moot as they only need to check his Runebook to see if there are runes that are not present anymore while at the same time not being used by him, no? Additionally, the other teacher had a runebook with copied runes. How does that work?

Actus

Master runes are Great runes, like Sunder. They’re the really powerful, peak runes that are unique and only held by 1 creature at a time. Greater runes are just ‘normal’ high quality runes.

Actus

I’ll try to go back and make the connection a bit clearer. Basically, he’s drawing energy out of the paper/book to make the rune in his mind. Yeah, Rune design can vary. As for copying runes, it’s basically the same thing as trying to form it in your mind but easier, as you can physically reference it by looking rather than relying on memory.

Actus

It’s more like the rune is so powerful his body just completely couldn’t handle it. He’s probably the only Rank 1 that has a Master rune. So not typically dangerous to the user, just so much power he can’t handle it.

Andrei

But what happens to the original rune when it's copied to another piece of paper? Is the energy of the original consumed? Or the person who copies it has to provide the necessary energy for the copy?

Actus

Some of the original energy is consumed, yeah! Depending on how much energy it had when it was put on the paper (and the skill of the person copying it), the original rune’s energy can run out and it’ll burn up/vanish.

Umut Numanoglu

Is there a reason why he doesn't buy a watch. It is annoying that he never knows when the cannon will claim him back. Also even if he doesn't have the rune in his book it is possible that he took it and overridden it with something right? He could easily say it didn't work out as a combination. Oh lastly, can you explain how ash rune works, why it is sharp? It is not like ash to be a spear that can go through bone, can he do the same with vibration?
