A great dwarven Smith was born in a magical world. He was so skilled in smithing that he felt limited by physical means alone. To surpass these limitations, he incorporated magic into his craft and invented a new object called a rune. By combining runes, he developed a new method of casting magic, which he called "Rune Casting." Soon after, an arena was built where the most skilled "Rune mages" competed for fame and mana.
