The Runic Tome is a special artifact one can acquire from the Cultist Raid section of the Trial Shop.

Shift-right-clicking will bring up a menu where the player can insert a Rune. Only one rune can be loaded in the Runic Tome at a time. This can also be done by Right-clicking when there is no rune loaded.

The Runic Tome is enchanted with the Soulbound enchantment.

Right-clicking when a rune is loaded in the Runic Tome will fire a Runic Blast based on the rune type loaded. Firing a Runic Blast consumes XP. Each different rune type has a different animation and effect, and may also have more than one use. The different Runic Blasts available and their effects are listed below.

Arcanum

A Runic Blast of Arcanum does damage in a small radius, and every 3rd attack does more damage, summoning a lightning strike.

Aegis

A Runic Blast of Aegis will summon a forcefield that will refract incoming projectiles. Stops most projectiles.

Chills

A Runic Blast of Chills will freeze the area. Water changes to ice, lava changes to obsidian, snow falls no matter the weather, and hostile mobs freeze and may also turn into a friendly snow golem upon death.

Cinders

A Runic Blast of Cinders has a flamethrower effect, shooting streams of fire ahead of the player in a short distance, damaging mobs and setting them on fire.

A Runic Blast of Gusts will summon a Tornado when used and toss hostile mobs into the air.

Tides

A Runic Blast of Tides works in a lot of the same ways you’d expect regular water to, including wetting placed powdered concrete and it also slows hostile mobs while targeting.
