Rune Tools

Druids and Runecasters may create rune tools instead of scrolls. Rune tools are small wands infused with runic magic to do a particular curse or charm in battle. The magic in these tools are activated just like the power in a scroll by making a successful spellcasting check. To use these tools, a PC must have the ability to cast magic from Arcane scrolls and know at least one Celtic language or the Norse language. Any one of the rune tools may be carved over one week's time by a spellcaster of a particular level with a successful Survival check. After the duration of the casting ends, the rune tool burns away to ash and may not be used again.
