Runic Association

Cost:	5 CP/level
Description:	You are more naturally attuned to the metaphysical world than others, meaning that magic use comes more naturally to you than to others.
Gameplay:	Each level of Runic Association gives you 1 bonus die when casting a spell that uses that particular rune. Note that having Runic Association actually allows you to cast a spell when you have a Skill of 0. See the Magic page for much more information about how magic works.

Helen is a Sensitive mage with Runic Association to the Sound rune=3 and Sound Rune=4. One day, while attempting to sneak unnoticed into an enemy camp, she casts a Break Sound spell on herself in an effort to keep the sentries from hearing her. When she rolls to see how well she casts her spell, she will roll 7 dice (4 for Sound Rune + 3 bonus dice for Runic Association). Based on those numbers, she can expect to get around 4 Ss.
