Description
Runes are strange symbols for the purpose of magic.
Runes are often carved into metal or stone. They may also be found painted onto clothing, armor, or directly onto the skin or fur. Some runes are seen glowing.
These symbols are typically a writing system. The most well-known, and oldest type of runes were created by the Norse sometime before 150AD. These runes were called Elder Futhark, but there are many other runic alphabets. However, for art purposes, runes may also be 'random squiggles'.
