"I picked these three runes to show that each rune has a very different property or affect on a string of runes put together. Thurisaz for example is often regarded as the most powerful rune on its own, having links to the Norse god Thor, but it's also regarded as a rune with darker or more sinister connotations than the rest. Kauno's meaning and properties are disputed somewhat, as some maintain that the meaning of 'ulcer' or 'wound' is a mistranslation."
"Also," Opteryx said with an amused smile as he glanced through the pile of parchment, "Each rune has different names or variation thereof of spelling. I see that most of you wrote down the properties of Ehwaz when the rune you were supposed to look up was Eihwaz or Ihwaz, Eihwaz being the Norse name for the rune. Those two are easily mistaken for the other, and it wouldn't be good if one accidentally substituted Ihwaz for Ehwaz while attempting a runic spell."
"Well then, while we're on that topic, let's start off the lesson by describing Ihwaz. What does Ihwaz represent?"
