    I will throw something in. For point of reference, what scale of spells are good to start with?

    Question: I’d like to give my character a backstory of his using a spell that was WAY too much for him to handle. However, I’m not sure how exactly he would come across that strong of a rune. Could I say, for instance, he touched it after his teacher was killed, or something along those lines?

    Also, I figured he would use that spell in defense of the City of Ash, but I’m not positive whether or not The Leveler is the type to leave him alive. I’d just like to know so as to not overstep my bounds

    It’s said that the runestones are pieces of the gods, and that together they contain every thought the gods have ever had. So they might do anything from the seemingly innocuous (create a strong smell of lamp oil!) to the quite functional (purify stagnant water, tell truth from lies for as long as you can stand channelling the spell) to the rather terrifying (lightning bolts!).

    Runes that can blast open city walls and burn a whole company of soldiers to ash do exist, but in practice anyone who casts it has their head catch fire a few moments later. So unless you’ve got a fanatically loyal minion to use the rune for you...

    In practice I’m willing to at least consider any spell that wouldn’t fundamentally break the way a bronze-age society would operate, and I’m happy for you to use other magical universes (e.g. D&D) as inspiration.

    Yes, that would be fine. Your character will likely have done himself some serious nerve damage in the process (e.g. blind in one eye / partial paralysis / loss of feeling).

    The Leveler wouldn’t just let him go (since taking someone’s runes off them doesn’t remove their ability to cast spells in future) but he might have woken up after being left for dead, or set free from prison by a supporter of the old Ash order.

    Great! I was already planning on the “blindness in one eye” thing
    Another question, though: would the spell actually go off? Or would it just sort of sizzle out?

    Hmm, I was gonna go for “left for dead”, but the alternative seems rather interesting as well! Perhaps I’ll use that!

    I can even have his former jailer chase him around as a recurring miniboss if you like.

    I’ll let you decide, based on what’s the most dramatically appropriate!

    Just popping in to say I'm still interested. Hopefully I'll have something up today.
    Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.
