just musing openly,

i like the feel of drawing runes, but never liked the idea that the rune
college is investment in drag.

We have several ways to store magic (potions, scrolls, investments, wards,
magical traps, shaped items etc) that are open to all colleges (with outside
knowledge often).

Although, thinking through, I have no problem with rune becoming another way
to store spells and rituals.

The 'useful' parts of the college could then be adjusted into a new college
with a new name, say 'old lore'...

There again, Rune could have an 'old way of doing magics' where they have
some core spells, but an inefficient way of casting them. But they get to
learn any other spell in the book at twice EM and double FT to cast (again
in that inefficient way).


yep, that should keep the content sympathetic to the subject line.
