Welcome to ~~The Elder Futhark Speak And Spell Game~~ Runic Ascendancy! Your goal is to crush the evil denizens of the cursed forest and come out the other side. This will not be easy, but you have a powerful tool to aid you: runic magic. Combine runes to cast spells, defeat your enemies, and then discover their binding invocation to gain a new spell.

Keyboard


The keyboard is small when not full screen. That's basically fine, as you can type things out almost normally. Here's some caveats:

* There is no V sound in runes; v is f.
* There is no Y sound in runes; y is j.
* a, like "lance", is a. a, like "bark", is a different rune, mapped to q. Or shift-A.
* "sh" is mapped to x. Or shift-S.
* "ng" is mapped to c. Or shift-n.
* "th" is mapped to y. Or shift-t.

It takes some practice, and you can sound out the words! That's the point! Learn your magic and you'll be disintegrating (an actual spell) your foes in no time!
