Paradox Carmody, Runi of Driaca

Another woman in armor today! So I was going through all of my many, many unpublished works, and found this one that I kinda wondered why I hadn't already used. So a few evolutions later, and this was the result! I felt that the thing in her hand was very wand-like, and decided to develop the mage society of Driaca a bit more. So "Arcani" would be the general term for a non-fairy magic user of some sort in my setting, and while anyone with access to magic can perform any spell, what separates them is the particular style of conduit they are good at using. For example, Paradox here is a Runi, a type of Arcani that carves runes into objects, such as wands, guns, swords or other weapons, and cast spells using those objects. It's where tales of slinging lightning from hundreds of feet away and flaming swords come from in this world, and less magically inclined people refer to them as Mage Knights because of their tendency to be armored. Hopefully you all enjoy this resurgent work!
