Runic mages have only 6 weapon choices, the staff, Long sword, Short sword, Morning star, Dagger, Scimitar. They can choose to specialize in one of these weapons and become proficient in one other. They then must work their way to grand master in their specialized weapon. They cannot wear armor but may inscribe runes of protection into their chest, back and upper arms, saving their forearms to inscribe their spells into.
