Varwem
Varwem is the rune that represents mana, or a mage’s magical power.
It is one of the known power-runes that can be placed at the root of an inscription; in this case, infusing the inscription requires there to be mages participating in the inscription whose mana will be expended to fuel the inscription. If there is insufficient mana available among the invokers, it is known to leave the invokers involved drained or otherwise magically injured.
It can also be used in effects that should target, move, or shape mana.
Varwem'Ko
Varwem'Ko is the rune that represents crystallised mana, or potential energy.
It is one of the known power-runes that can be placed at the root of an inscription; in this case, infusing the inscription will require additional mana crystals. This is often regarded as ruinously expensive, but it is also safer than most other options, as if there are insufficient crystals available, it will simply fail rather than injuring the researchers.
It is also possible to design inscriptions that convert other resources into crystal mana, but an inscription has not yet been made that returns more mana than is used to infuse it.

Astel

Saal
Saal is the rune that represents blood or life-force.
It is one of the known power-runes that can be placed at the root of an inscription; in this case, infusing the inscription will drain the health of those participating in the infusion.
It can also be used to affect blood or life-force as a target.
E
