"For example, if you used the shape of a square, which I have read represents security, structure and a few other things....would that produce stronger results when pair with, let's say Algiz than if you used a circle?" Or maybe the professor was talking about completely different shapes, like the shape of the carving of the rune itself and not the stone from which it was made.

"I was speaking of the shape of each rune symbol themselves, however it would be an interesting experiement, Kurumi." Truebridge answered. "Certainly what you carve the rune into has some bearing on the magic, so it would make sense for the shape of what you carve the rune symbol into to have some bearing in a magical sense at least."

As for everyone else.

"I know that some of the concepts are hard to get your mind around. But we'll begin now by opening our books to chapter five." He waited for the books to open and then continued.

"The twenty four runes of the Elder Futhark are listed here, along with a few magical and divinatory meanings associated with each one. The tables you are sitting at are each made of wood and I think are rather bare. So today we're going to choose runes to carve into the tables, based on the magical associations of each rune, and activate the magic of each one, hopefully to provide beneficial effects on your learning."

Yes. They'd be carving up the furniture.

"So take a look at the list. What kind of runes do you think would be good to carve into a desk that you do schoolwork on? What kind of effects would you think might be beneficial? Put your hand up if you can see one here, and do feel free to think outside the box, there is a lot of opportunity for that. You're welcome to say a rune someone else has said, but do try to share a different magical association to that rune as well as why you think it'd be
useful."

ooc: be creative, go ahead and say as many runes as you want, as long as your character can say why they think it'd be beneficial to be on a school desk/table.
