Description: These runes can be placed on any surface which allows the caster to write or etch runes into it. It is often used by wizards to ward their spellbooks against unwanted readers.
To place the runes the mage has to prepare a special ink from sulphur and guano as well as normal ink (of good quality), the next step is to either write down the spell or first etch it into the surface and fill the etching with the ink. Once this is done the mage makes a spellcasting test against the objects spell defense (Spell Books have the natural SD of their owner which may not be lowered). If successfull the caster has placed the runes on the object, although these rules are (and have to be) visible.
If someone other than the caster uses the Read and Write Magic Talent (not the skill) against the runes and overcomes a difficulty number of 5, the spell activates causing a small but concentrated explosion in a 1 yard radius which may be resisted by mystic armor. The object itself is NOT harmed in the explosion. The spell has the secondary effect of blinding the reader for 3 days or permanently if the spell damage test achieves an excellent success level when compared to the subjects wound threshold after mystic armor is applied. At the GM's option the spell may also cause severe facial scarring and reduce the charisma attribute.
Note that there is no success test necessary for the spell to take effect once the runes are placed.
This spell may be identified from the astral by beating a difficulty number of 14 in any sensing test. (astral sense, thread sight, etc.)

Very useful if your group includes a thief, who tends to get caught by the officials. :-}
