Just an idea for Glorantha settings of RQ. I propose to allow initiates and higher of cults to integrate the runes of their gods through ceremonies, without having to find a rune. No persistence roll is necessary , it will succeed through divine will, but the sacrifice of POW will be necessary, and probably a donation to the cult as well.
These runes then appear as markings on the cultists flesh in a specified location, much like the runes that appear in the Troubled Waters scenario of River of cradles.
These integrated runes are unique to the character and cannot be taken from them. They still need to be touched for spells to be cast so shoulder, face and forearm will probably be sensible locations for them to manifest.
This will also help with Rune inflation for NPC's - they can have the runes of their gods without these being in a useable (for pcs) format.
What do you all think ?
