Unlocking
The notice "A Runewright Upon Your Shores Has Landed" hangs on the notice board at the Seven Cats Inn. It starts the quest Enchanting: Start-up Costs. The Runewright asks for 5,000 crowns to set up his workshop. The next quest, Enchanting: Quality Has Its Price, needs a hunk of jade. The jade lies in Bloodrot Pit and is mined with a pickaxe from the barn at Upper Mill.
Workshop Levels
| Level | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5,000 crowns and a hunk of jade |
| 2 | 10,000 crowns |
| 3 | 15,000 crowns |
Each level unlocks stronger runewords and glyphwords. Fully funded, the Runewright works as a Master blacksmith and a Master armorer.
Runewords
A runeword needs a sword with three upgrade slots. It fills every slot and destroys any runestones already in them. Each runeword is made from runestones.

| Elation | 2 | Fatal sword blows give 0.1 to 0.25 Adrenaline Points |
| Rejuvenation | 2 | Each fatal blow restores 25% Stamina |

| Invigoration | 3 | At full Vitality, regeneration becomes bonus damage on the next strike, up to +50% |
| Prolongation | 3 | Each unblocked blow adds 0.5 s to potion duration |
| Replenishment | 3 | After a Sign, an Adrenaline Point charges the next sword attack with that Sign |
