The Simulator had popped an untimely notification which Remirg had never been expecting.
[CONGRATULATIONS! THE PLAYER HAS GAINED MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT RUNES, DIMENSIONAL MAGIC!
RUNE EXP: +5
THE PLAYER CAN NOW SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT BASIC RUNES THEMSELVES!]
He goggled at it for a few seconds before realizing what it meant. Apparently, his mind had gone blank for a short period of time, for no reason at all. Sheepishly pulling the fact aside, Remirg hung over.
Even though the Simulator had declared him worthy enough to start making runes for himself, he lacked both writing and inscribing tools, none of which was available on the island's reserve, quite contrary to the ever-replenishing food. In order to create runic magic, he needed to engrave them down onto a physical two or three-dimensional surface.
