Rune magic is the most powerful manifestation of all the magics present in the Universe. Rune magic weaves all the elements of the various Sith Masteries into a single magic whole. The key to Sith Rune (or Runic) Magic is that the harmonic
wave that weaves a possibility into existence must be created with as much
simultaneity as possible. This means that the various movements,
signs, words, thoughts and elements that go into making up a harmonic wave
must be completed as close together as possible. The more simultaneous
the harmonic wave structure, the
To attain this simultaneity, both the Krath and us of the Sith
have developed magical languages and structures to convey our magic. Used
only for magic this language is unlike any other used in the Galaxy. A
second, more traditional language is used for standard communication by
both the Sith and the Krath when they are using magic together. The
Sith Rune language is not so much spoken
The common element in both languages is their simultaneity. Traditional
languages are sequential in their structure along a single channel, linear
lines. When one reads words on a page, he reads letter after letter, word
after word, sentence after sentence to build up a complete thought or meaning
of the text. This means he is taking in the message through only one channel
or source of experience at a
The complexity, balance and harmony of magic require perfection in simultaneous communication of the magician's harmonic waves. this is generally conveyed through performance of the magic by the Sith Magician through words, tones, gestures and motion. In Sith Rune Magic, the simultaneity is bound up in the concept of non-linear written language. The Rune languages have evolved into two separate types along the lines of the Krath and Sith cultures. Both operate the rune principles of the universe but their structure and methods are somewhat different. |
