Stupid Question #15697321 Is there a limit on Rune Spells?

[CharlieMonster]

I might be being a bit blond, but I couldn't find any reference to a limit to the number of Rune Spells a character can learn. Beyond needing the requisite Runes. Am I right in assuming their isn't any?

Thought it was INT for rune magic proper and POW for Spirit magic... but might just be remembering RQ2

Integrating a rune costs you 1 POW.

I don't believe there is a hard limit stated in MRQ.

There is the POW cost for integrating, and then the fact that each runecasting skill is a seperate skill, so mastering many runes is going to be full time job.

And all of your runes draw from the same pool.

Someone with 500 spells isn't all that much more powerful than someone with 50, or even 10 well chosen ones. Meanwhile, they have sunk a hell of alot more skill points into learning the spells.

Nope, I can't find a limit either - and in RQ2 each point of Battle Magic took INT but you could suppress the knowledge of those spells you'd learnt but bring them back into mind later.

Meanwhile, they have sunk a hell of a lot more skill points into learning the spells.

I think you meant "the different Runecasting skills" rather than "the spells" but I just thought I'd make it clear as spells can be bought (once you've found someone who will teach it to you, that is).

Even with the lack of INT requirement, the Runecasting skill requirements means Rune Magic is self-limiting. Though someone with the Truth Rune could learn loads of different Detect spells and be quite effective at something... :lol:
