     Sith Rune Magic Lesson One
      This lesson was written by Dark Lord Foe Raker Gilkane
This to my knowledge is how rune structures are formed, this may change when we come to better understand Sith Rune Magic.

This lesson will help you understand the properties of Sith Runes.

First we will define the properties of a rune, below you will see the Bizor Rune. We will use this rune as an example. What is shown here will apply to all runes.

 The Bizor Rune: Rune of Death                        
                 Force: Dark Side
                State: Physical                  
                Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                            
                Power: Medium
                Direction: Matriarch                                          
      There are four types of Runes possible, these are Rune of Death, Rune of Mind, Rune of Power and Rune of Life. These runes draw on the four waves of possibility, these four waves of possibility will be discussed in another lesson. Above you can see high lighted in red, that the Bizor Rune is a Rune of Death. This mean that the Bizor Rune draws on the wave of Death.

                Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                            
                Power: Medium
                Direction: Matriarch                                          
     The next property of a rune that we will discuss is the Force. I don't think the Force needs to be explained, most of you know what that is. There are two types of Force used in a rune, these are Light Side and Dark Side. The Force is use to create a rune, a person that wishes to create a rune must use either the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force to do this. Above you can see high lighted in red, that the Bizor Rune uses the Dark Side of the Force.

                State: Physical                  
                Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                       
                Power: Medium
               Direction: Matriarch                                          
      The property we will now, discuss is the State. There are two States possible for a rune to have, these are Physical and Spiritual. This describes how the magic of a rune will manifest. Above you can see high lighted in red, that the Bizor Rune's magic will manifest Physically.

             Force: Dark Side
             State: Physical                  
             Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                 
             Power: Medium
             Direction: Matriarch                                          
     The next properties we will talk about are a rune's Traits. All runes have Traits specific to that rune alone. Pretty much any thing could a trait that a rune could have. Above you can see high lighted in red, the Bizor Rune's traits. The traits suggest that the Bizor Rune would be used to Find or Discover something.

                Force: Dark Side
                State: Physical                  
                Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                 
                Power: Medium
                Direction: Matriarch   
       Power is the next property of a rune we will discuss. There are three power ratings a rune could have, they are Weak, Medium, and Strong. These power ratings determine the strength of the magic each rune has, it also defines how strong the properties in a rune are.

Example One: Two runes are being  used in a rune structure( a rune structure is a group of runes use to create Sith Rune Magic). One rune's Power is Weak the other rune's is Strong, each runes position in a rune structure suggests that it's traits will be applied to the whole rune structure. Here is were power comes in, the rune with the Strong Power will have the dominate traits the other rune with the Weak Power, will have recessive traits.

Example Two: A rune is placed in a position in a rune structure that determines the overall power of the rune structure. The rune acts like a fuse or regulator, only a certain amount of power can be handled by the rune, this is determined by the rune's Power. Lets say that most of the runes in this rune structure have a Strong Power rating, if the rune in the position that determines the overall power of a rune structure is Weak then the overall rune structure is Weak.
 
 

The Bizor Rune: Rune of Death                        
             Force: Dark Side
             State: Physical                  
             Traits:Find, discover,reveal                                 
             Power: Medium
             Direction: Matriarch                                          
     The next property of a rune is Direction, this a somewhat complicated property, so I saved it for last:). There are two directions a rune could have these are Matriarch(moving in a direction left) and Patriarch(Moving in a direction right). These names describe the position the rune should be in for a paticular type of rune structure. 

           
The Patriarch and the Matriarch are used in a rune structure to determine which sub-traits will be applied to the entire rune structure(Example One). This is determined by the power of the rune in either the Matriarch or Patriarch position. The power of each rune is channeled by the Patriarch (right)and the Matriarch (left) to a central point, once there the power of the Patriarch and the Matriarch will determine which traits will be stronger in the rune structure.
 

This concludes Lesson One. Lesson Two we will learn to apply the properties of a rune to a specific position in a rune structure.
