Vulcanus stepped back and crossed his arms. "The first rune is JUR. It means Binding. Once activated with your mana, it causes chains to sprout from the wounds of whatever you cut. The more cuts, the stronger the binding."
He pointed to the second rune. "The second is LIQ. It transmutes your mana into flame, the chains too, if you desire. Flaming bindings that sear into flesh and tough hide alike. Keranous is gold-ranked. Reforged from scarp materials, inscribed by my hand."
Kaelor backed away, drawing a slow, horizontal slash across the air.
The air howled, literally howled, like a beast freshly gutted. The sheer weight of the sword caused a ripple in the surrounding air.
He channeled mana through his arms into the blade. For a heartbeat, nothing happened.
Then the second rune flared to life, and the entire blade erupted into fire.
