Runologists recognize the inherent power of the written word - how primal characters, connected in the right way, can carry strength as deep as any other path to magical power. By studying the primal runic language, they develop the ability to cast spells merely by writing words down. Unfortunately, their ability to memorize suffers from carrying this power - forcing them to spend time preparing their spells each morning.

From a play standpoint, Runologist is a derivative of the D&D 3.5 Wizard class. It is primarily meant as an NPC class, but it may have its uses for PCs as well - in particular, because it is the only class with access to full Arcane ''and'' Divine spells. Runologists, with their wide breadth of knowledge, often work as magical detectives, being able to identify spells - and remnants of spells - better than anyone else.

In [[Amorcul Academy]], Runology is considered a police-oriented major or minor due to it's talent for spell identification - Runologists often have Lawyer, Forensic Criminologist, or other judicial-related minors (though Runologist/Warlords make for top-notch general police). On the other side of the spectrum, a Runologist/Rogue makes for an ''excellent'' phantom thief type. Adventuring-primary Runologists are rare but not unheard of - often taking a combat-focused major, and considering their spellcasting abilities an incidental advantage.
