Christy thought ardly about this question, Why aren't the long runic texts considered to be as 'magical' then short phrases engraved on artefacts? Think Chris..think!

Christy finally reached a opinion and raised her hand "The fact that the runes were each given meaningful names confirms that they had some magical or religious significance to their users. But if each tribe had their own pronunciation and writting for the runes, wouldn't longer inscriptions be more difficult to understand and use for magical purposes than the short ones?"
