Not Used: Rune Erasing Please?
[Jan 12, 2010] I'd like to suggest a new rune-making option to "erase" a rune (such as "rune erase").
I want this option so I can erase those persistent "invisible" runes, you know. . . the runes that no longer provide their benefit but inhibit a new rune from being painted. A beneficial, painted rune becomes a persistent "invisible" rune whenever a player either . . . (i) rests or (ii) logs off/on . . . prior to the rune's 24 hr elapse timer. I fear the second case may even require a server reset (I'm writing this while it's in affect).
I know what you're probably thinking, "Kalipuppy is probably failing to paint the rune and doesn't realize it because the message is ambiguously worded". However, let me reassure you this is probably not the case. I say this because (a) it's been over 24 hrs since I logged the rune-making time, (b) I'm speaking in the Common tongue, (c) I'm familar with this rune, (d) I logged off/on while the rune was in affect, (e) the item upon which I'm trying to paint the rune show no temporary rune property, (f) I'm failing 6 times in a row (I'm typically successful 95% of the time - so 6 consecutive failures would be 1 in 63,999,999 chance to occur), (g) it's successful on a new, unpainted item.
Besides, it could happen that one paints the wrong rune, or simply wants to change the rune for some reason, prior to its 24 hr duration. IMHO, we should let the player erase all the runes they want.

an excellent suggestion, Kalipuppy - if we can paint them, we should be able to unpaint them!
