Well now he had a list of different materials and at least got the majority thinking about the different uses of them. He wasn't going to go off on a another subject anymore or ask for another relic of Ancient Norse history. Now it was just time to find everyone's opinions. "So to recap. We went from just Wood and Skin to include Bone, Stone, Metal, Gemstones, And even Blood Magic to mix together with all these. Though as said. I don't really know anything about gemstones or Metal. What gives all these the power they have besides your own magical talent? I would say its a mix of your belief in the Rune and how strongly the the material you are carving the rune is connected to life or living things. Which would make wood not the best but one of the most reliable especially if it is from fruit-wood. But each have their purpose. Now it all depends on what you are using the Runes for. Do you think there is any material's i have not said that can be used. And what would you use Bone, Stone or even Metal Runes for? "
The professor had asked Brent a specific question, but honestly, Brent didn't have a clue. He was just along for the ride at this point.
"I don't think it's less powerful," he said,
"just less convenient." Did that kind of thing even matter in Runes?
"I would say that as long as you have the belief and intent behind it, it'll work just the same in lots of places." So that was Brent's response to the question he'd been asked.
...and then he grew silent while the professor continued on. Finally, another question was asked. Brent had to think on this one. What else was there? Raising his hand, he said,
"I don't know...what about glass or even clothes?" he asked.
"...and maybe people long ago uses runes on weapons made from bone." He really had no idea about that one either. Something would have to pretty much be dead to have its bone exposed enough to carve a rune into. O_o.
