Runes · modern orientation school

Reversals are a modern option, not an ancient rule

Separate reversed meanings are off by default. If the user explicitly enables the Modern Reversal School, merkstave is read only as a contemporary convention.

Block

The rune's force exists, but does not pass into action.

  • • Isa
  • • Nauthiz
  • • Eihwaz

Distortion

The force became crude, anxious, or misdirected.

  • • Thurisaz
  • • Ansuz
  • • Fehu

Inner layer

The answer does not forbid action; it asks to name the hidden motive first.

  • • Laguz
  • • Perthro
  • • Berkano

Checklist

  • • Do not frighten with reversal.
  • • Name the reversal function.
  • • Give a way to rebalance the force.

Boundaries

  • • Runes do not give medical, legal, or financial instructions.
  • • Runes are not used for surveillance, hacking, partner control, or reading another will.
  • • A risk rune must produce safe action, not fear.
