Runes would be the LOTR equivelent of enchantments but WAY better, they would be gotten by finding some special rare structure in Forodwaith where there is a rune table, this would be uncraftable and would require 100 morgul or elven alignment to use. On the table you mix any kind of chisel and some item that you find in a chest in that structure (probably an ancient script) and after you do you can always use that rune. You craft an anvil with a chisel on the crafting table and you get a rune forge. With this you spend experience to put runes you have unlocked on the weapons or tools, however this would require more experience as they are very good runes. Some ides for runes could be:

1. An equivelent for sharpness, this would be written in elvish but would describe it as extra damage in the Lore section.

2. An equivelent for unbreaking, this would not be just doubling the life time, it would make it so if you played for hours and hours it would only take about half the durability.

3. An equivelent for Knockback; this would not just be knockback but it would make a flash of light and a boom noise and send them flying, the light could be similar to the sun flare effect but faster.

4. The equivelent of Fire Aspect; this would be some elven rune that would put blue fire on the enemy and burn them fast.

5. Equivelent to Efficiency, it would make mining faster

6. Equivenlent for Forune, it would make ores like sulphur, saltpeter, coal, glowstone and the later gem ores yeild more.

7. The equivelent of Power, it would make arrows hit harder and faster and cause more damage.

8. The equivelent of infinity; it would make all arrows shot not take actual arrows and would shoot glowing blue part see-through arrows.

9. The equivelent of flame, similar to the fire aspectish rune it would put blue fire on enemy. Or instead for normal fire you could pull back a normal un-runed bow and look at some sort of brazier.

10. Life steal, this may seem OP but it would only give a quarter the damge given to the enemy and would be the most expensive of the runes.

All would cost 10-40 xp levels and would be more rare to find info on it depending on its power. It may seem OP but you could make it so there is approximately 2000 of them in all of Forodwaith and that would even it out a bit. Maybe they could be found on islands but there is only a 1 in 300 chance for it to be on a certain island. Anyway that is all I have to say so if you want to add more to it or change it up just comment your idea and maybe, just maybe, Mevans might consider adding it.
