"Runes are a form of magic that used to be quite popular among witches and wizards in my world, so I'm actually familiar with them to an extent. Although I imagine that the runes of your world are probably significantly different than mine. I'd be curious to see if any of the runes we use have similar meanings," Hermione smiles, brightening up at the thought as she starts to steep some green tea. Once the tea is steeping properly, Hermione summons a couple of books from a nearby bookshelf, laying them flat on the counter as she rifles through the pages.
"The runes we used were most often drawn on some part of the environment, although protective runes were often drawn on weapons and clothing as well. I think runes written directly on the skin were... less innocuous, and less common. Runes were really mostly a way to concentrate our energy in the same way that wands were meant to, although they were a little less precise, and not as fast to administer."
Hermione leans forward when Luke reveals the mark on his own skin, eyes narrowing. "I'm not familiar with this particular rune. Do you mind if I ask after its intended effect?"
