Looking at the carved stone and materials with interest, Finn used his [Assessment] skill to check their statuses, in case the descriptions missed anything.
The small barrier rune, on the surface, seemed to function much like his. The difference was that when it was activated, nothing could go through, even allies or even rain, for that matter.
The energy consumption seemed a bit bigger, though, requiring a toughened core per activation, and each time would only last an hour or less, if it was consistently attacked while active.
The defense rune and agility runes were stat enhancers. They could increase these stats with a set value for a time. According to his friends, the typical rune of this kind was very useful for toughened and below, with diminishing effects above it, unless it was a high-level rune.
