DoNCultBook2Barb
Although not an innately magical race, the Barbarians have learned to invoke a number of spirits through their shamanistic rituals. These invisible spirits can often be contained and bound to runes etched across Barbarian battle armor. Controlling these spirits requires a great deal of strength and stamina, both mental and physical, so the strongest spirits are only bound to the strongest of warriors.
This book contains intermediate spirit runes. Although they offer a good amount of protection, the spirits contained within are also difficult to control. Ideally, Barbarians will have acquired a bit of battle experience before attempting to make use of these symbols. You know that you will be able to reproduce this pattern many times before the book becomes worn and you must replace it.
To create pattern for tailoring armor templates based on these patterns you will need this book, a large bottle of ink, a roll of good quality vellum, a quill and a compacted backpack to hold the patterns you will make. You'll also need a book binding to do the work.
