The runes shown in the picture weren't very clear. In fact, the runes weren't complete at all, as the central mess of them was obscured behind either incompetent drawing or random ink.

How did someone recreate runes without knowing what they were first?

A*shole… and she said there was some kind of big secret in the scroll. So this was her plan.
