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. 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 with a successful Survival check. After casting a runic spell, the rune tool burns away to ash and may not be used again.
Design Note: I'm thinking that these tools are all pretty weak-sauce, but useful items that the runecasters can use to vary their repertoire of spells.
