Runic Spell Combos
So I just unlocked Runic Spellcasting in Berg. I made a list of known Rune Combos.

4 Runes: Dez (Blue), Shim (Red), Fal (Green), Egoth (Purple)
* Arcane Syntax Required
? Unconfirmed

Runes
Effect
Runic Prefix
Blue, Purple
Runic Protection (this gave impact resistance and physical protection)
Increases values and adds elemental resistance
Purple, Blue
*Runic Healing (this gave 2hp/sec healing Buff, but consumes Runic Protection)
(??)
Red, Green
Runic Trap (makes a Landmine)
?? (trap now glows. perhaps larger effect?)
Red, Red
*Runic Detonation (Detonates your Runic Trap)
??
Red, Purple
Runic Blade (Creates a 1h Sword that Deals Elemental Damage)
Blade now emits light and deals lightning damage
Red, Purple
*Greater Runic Blade (creates a 2h sword)
Now deals Decay Damage
Green, Blue
Runic Lantern (Provides Bright Light, notes that it can be combined further)
Brighter?
Green, Red
*Runic Lightning (fires a Ball of Energy, Requires Runic Lantern Active)
?? (may have a larger blast radius/damage.)

One important note that i just discovered after testing all this out: Infusion skills (from the Spellblade Magic) DO NOT stack with the bonus Elements added by Runic Prefix (I.E. the Lightning damage on the 1h Runic Blade) and replace the listed buff that grants the bonus elemental damage. the other ability from Spellblade (the one that fires an elemental orb based on your infused element) DOES work with the Lightning/Decay from Runic Prefix. so keep this in mind when making a build. (you're basically choosing between having 3 elements or 1 element and not needing a lexicon.)


i'll update the list if anyone adds anything. my save corrupted, so I can't verify anything posted. just making a list so I know for my next playthrough. T_T

Edit*: new character made it back to the trainer and relearned everything. took Prefix this time instead of the one that allows you to cast without a lexicon.

To add to this a bit. If you put the skills on your bar in the order of blue, purple, green, red as 1, 2, 3, 4 then the combos are:
protection = 1, 2.
Sword = 4, 2.
light = 3, 1.
land mine = 4,3.

Those are the 4 basic combos I found (not the advanced ones you unlock later). I didn't sytematically go through so I may have missed some. For example, I didn't figure one out that was anything like what I would describe as a thunderbolt (which I am sure you mean lightning bolt because thunder is a sound).

you have some of your stuff missordered did some testing and for example mine activated protection...


Here is what I managed to get together

Land mind: Red, Green
Summon Sword: Red, Purple
Light orb: Green, Blue
Protection: Blue, Purple

Hope this helps fix that situation just tested all 4 of these to double check btw

I’ve maxed out the tree, and have discovered 8 so far:

1. Runic Protection - Dez + Egoth
(Blue + Purple)

2. Runic Blade - Shim + Egoth
(Red + Purple)

3. Runic Lantern - Fal + Dez
(Green + Blue)

4. Runic Trap - Shim + Fal
(Red + Green)

After Unlocking Arcane Syntax:

After Casting Runic Protection
5. Runic Healing* - Egoth + Dez
(Purple + Blue)

After Casting Runic Blade
6. Great Runic Blade - Shim + Egoth
(Red + Purple)

After Casting Runic Lantern
7. Runic Lightning* - Fal + Shim
(Green + Red)

After Casting Runic Trap
8. Runic Blast - Shim + Shim
(Red + Red)

Note: Runic Blast detonates your trap manually. You DO NOT have to be standing on your trap to activate the spell. Use it on enemies that circle the trap, but don’t actually walk into it.

(I couldn’t find what the game calls the lightning I’m shooting out, so I put an asterisk)

Updated, Changed to Colors instead of using Numbers to avoid Confusion.

I tried to avoid using numbers because I’m playing on Xbox One. Going to stick to the rune and the color

It would appear that seems to be the only runic spell combinations available.. Its kinda a little bit disappointing considering there could be so much more potential for runic magic, but I'm hoping I'm wrong and that there is more.
Moine Mar 27, 2019 @ 7:56am 
even if it is, that'd be alright.

it'd be about on par with the other spell schools in terms of variety.

Updated, added the effects of Runic Prefix.
Cristian Mar 27, 2019 @ 11:58am 
If you do Self>Hide>Defend you get a 2hp per second buff.
Moine Mar 27, 2019 @ 1:12pm 
Updated, added what I think is the last skill. may have been a translation issue from Cristian, but he was right with the effect.

I got rid of my lexicon because of Greater Runic Blade. It’s just easier
Argent Rain Mar 27, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
Casting without a lexicon feels less clunky. That’s probably because I never keep my lexicon out. I quick slot my lexicon, and take it out before casting, because it’s facing “spine up and pages down” for some reason. I don’t like holding it wrong like that, and not sure if that’s a bug
Argent Rain Mar 27, 2019 @ 1:27pm 
I thought the healing was a dispel because it got rid of my Runic Protection. Cool
Yanphi Mar 27, 2019 @ 6:49pm 
^ I thought the same thing as well. But is it 2hp/sec? Because whenever I cast it, the spell fully heals me.
