With it you can accomplish amazing things." "Like creating runes?" Melvina asked, studying his writings. "You never answered me why you need them." "I am going to create great swords of power," Dao replied. "I need the runes to bind the swords and give them great power. The words will also be the swords' true names. Runes can also be used as a type of magic; one that needs no outside power, the power will be contained within the runes themselves." "Are they Runeswords?" Melvina asked, awe clearly in her voice. "Yes, exactly so," Dao replied astonished. "Runeswords!" "What are true names?" Melvina asked while studying his drawings. "True names unlock special powers and give the one that knows the true name special control." "What will the Runeswords do?" Melvina was clearly interested.
