Kilvin’s curriculum covers one hundred and ninety-seven runes in full. Eleven are catalogued here — the most commonly used in practical artificery.
Rune names marked “canon” are explicitly referenced in the books. All others follow Aturan naming patterns extrapolated from Rothfuss’s descriptions of their function — faithful reconstructions, not inventions.
Fan project. Rune names and properties are lore-inspired extrapolations.
