Primary runes (PGG)

[hdrider67]

I'm going through the new rune spells in the Players Guide to Glorantha. Either my eyes are playing tricks or there aren't any italicized runes in any of the spells.

Does this mean a spell like patternsight can be cast with either man OR mastery, or should the first rune have been italicized?

Thanks!

I suspect this is a typo.

Having just gone through the Spell book, when a a spell can be used with a number of primary runes (i.e. the rune that determines the casting skill), all combinations are listed. So, for example:

Frustration is listed as "Motion, Stasis or Motion, Stasis"

So, which is the primary rune for Patternsight? Well, the runes are listed alphabetically, rather than by primacy - so there is no way to tell. I don't know what the spell you refer is as I can't get my hand on a copy of the Players Guide. Generally speaking though Mastery is a secondary rune (5 primary rune spells, 9 secondary in Spellbook and SRD).

My copy on my shelf has all the spells (with two runes, anyway) italicised properly.

If that is a printing error on your copy, let Russ at sales@mongoosepublishing.com know.

I'm sorry (Had a long night) I wasn't very specific. I have the PDF version, not the print.

Would that make a difference?

I have the PDF and I have the same issue; no italicised runes in the descriptions.
