Gwen didn't know much yet about spells from wands or runic magic, so she supposed they simply had different purposes, right? She raised her hand tentatively. "You said that runic magic can be used to infuse something with strength. What about people? Wouldn't it be easier for them to simply carry a rune rather than try spells to increase their own strength? Or healing or something?" Runes could be used for healing, correct? She assumed that they were something like essential oils in that respect. Her mother sometimes used Lavender when Gwen couldn't sleep or was worried about something. But runes were magic, so they could have long-term effects, right?
