Nia raised her hand hesitantly. As much as she liked runes, she was hesitant when it came to the divination side of things. "I certainly wouldn't say Witches Runes were used like the Futhark in that context," she said, thinking about the reasons that caused her to think that. "For a start, when considering 'divination' with a Futhark runes, it is more a case of using rune to help address a question of interest. In doing this, one examines the past, the present and the future - but it is all relative to one's current path. It is important to remember everything is changeable, and Futhark runes help to point in a direction of an outcome." She looked thoughtful. "Like aiding your own perception of things...which isn't seeing into the future like divination at all."

She swallowed slowly. So how were Witches Runes different? She needed to complete her answer. "As far as I understand, the art of divination with Witches Runes is subtly different. For a start, it is meant to be harder to understand them. Something to do with the pictorial symbols starting easier to interpret, but hard to master. Indeed, if they were invented for only witches to use, there could be a reasoning there for the divination of certain types to questions to be answered." She paused. "All of the pieces are cast, so I guess that will mean something...attention is only paid to those face up and on the casting cloth or something? If that is the case, it could mean upto 13 different parts to an interpretation..."

And with that she bit her lip...had she actually managed to give any information that was relevant? Oh, how she loved logical straight answer subjects.
