+#####R=== Runecrafters ===
+
+#####GDescription
+Instead of using spellbooks like the other spellcasters they instead
+use mystic runes. To cast a spell they select a primary rune of the
+elements (fire, cold, etc.) and they also choose a set of secondary runes,
+which shape the effect of the first one. The secondary runes include
+Self, Arrow, Ray, ... and Armageddon. After that they chose the amount
+of mana to use and the spell is cast! But the more secondary runes they
+chose the more mana is used to cast the spell. They also are bad
+fighters, but if they concentrate all their mana in one spell
+(especially with a mage staff of mana) they could kill nearly anything.

+#####GRune Magic
+Runecrafters combine runes using the 'm' command. They first select a
+rune that controls magic type, then apply one or more runes to fine-tune
+effects, (pressing ESC when done), and then input the amount of mana
+they wish to expend on the spell.
+
+Runecrafters can cast the spells from their runes in several ways:
+1. On-the-fly by combining runes when they need them.
+2. Memorise rune combinations for quick use when needed (and they don't
+ need to be able to see then!), and then later cast from memory.
+3. Carving them into a Runestone, then using the Runestone later (takes
+ less mana, but they have to be able to see).
+
