Runes did not actually need a stone to function.
Back when Allstar gave them the runes for the town, they were circular stones. But the rune was not the stone itself. It was the inscription. They could be inscribed onto anything and still work perfectly.
The most popular method was using cards. Solitaire cards, to be exact.
There were tiers for these inscription materials too. They were ranked as Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and so on, just like ores. Blacksmiths were the ones who crafted these blank materials. People even did magic tricks with those cards these days.
Caelus had bought plenty of blank black cards for himself. He could store his skills inside them with no problem. He just needed to inscribe them properly.
With his Chaos Perception Eyes, it was effortless. The skill had four times the perception power now. It was a terrifying level of clarity.
