SHAPING-RUNES

Shaping runes are runes that can be optionally added to an existing combination of runes to "shape" how the spell gets activated.

                         times/mud month)

For example:

evmelmo is "acid blast". "ind" and "fiz" can be combined with this spell to indicate how the spell should be activated:

evmelmoind ... acid blast (single target)
evmelmofiz ... acid spray (acid blast hitting multiple targets)

Note that if you specify someone other than yourself as a target, the "ind" rune will be supplied automatically if you don't enter it. If you fail to enter in a target, "sel" will be supplied automatically.
