Runic Tome

Overview
The Runic Tome is a special artifact the player can aquire from the Artifact Trader. To obtain the Runic Tome, the player must gather the 10 unique Research Scraps scattered around the survival worlds, bring them to the Valor Shop, and trade all 10 at once by using the sign next to the Artifact Trader. Successfully doing so will give the player an Enchanted Book named "Runic Tome".

Shift-Right Clicking will bring up a menu where the player can insert a Rune. Only one rune can be loaded in the Runic Tome at a time. This can also be done by Right Clicking when there is no rune loaded.

The Runic Tome is enchanted with the Soulbound enchantment.

Right Clicking when a rune is loaded in the Runic Tome will fire a Runic Blast based on the rune type loaded. Firing a Runic Blast consumes XP. Each different rune type has a different animation and effect, and may also have more than one use. The different Runic Blasts available and their effects are listed below.

Gusts
A Runic Blast of Gusts will summon a Tornado when used and toss hostile mobs into the air.

Tides
A Runic Blast of Tides Changes lava to magma rock. Slows hostile mobs while targeting.

Stones
A Runic Blast of Stones will stomp hostile mobs into the ground.

Cinders
A Runic Blast of Cinders is equal to a Dragon's Breath of sorts, shooting streams of fire ahead of the player in a short distance, damaging mobs and setting them on fire.

Mortus
A Runic Blast of Mortus will plague nearby hostile mobs with a Wither effect.

Chills
A Runic Blast of Chills will freeze the area. Water changes to ice, lava changes to obsidian, snow falls no matter the weather, and hostile mobs freeze and may also turn into a friendly snow golem upon death.

Vitality
A Runic Blast of Vitality will heal all players in the immediate area, and will also grow crops with a bonemeal effect.

Kinesis
A Runic Blast of Kinesis will grant the player temporary telekinetic powers, allowing players to toss hostile mobs around like a ragdoll.

Arcanum
A Runic Blast of Arcanum is unstable and has a variety of damaging effects. May also rarely summon a lightning strike to greatly damage hostile mobs.
