Charisa had already decided on her third rune. She read the galdr for the wunjo rune over in her head, rubbing her left hand with a thumb. Maybe she wasn't so used to carving things, especially with these burins, and that was cause for a tad of soreness in her wand hand. Like carpal tunnel. Ouch.

Readying herself to carry out carving her third and final rune, Charisa positioned her burin over the empty space next to her previous two runes and filled her mind with thoughts of motivation and success. Then, she started the chanting.

"Wunjo wunjo wunjo
wu wa wi we wo
wun wan win wen won
wo we wi wa wu
w w w u u u n n n
."


Well, this was the silliest chant Charisa had had to recite so far. Feeling foolish because of the final few syllables of the wunjo galdr, she broke concentration for a split second. Fortunately, her rune wasn't maimed as she lifted her burin from the table. Sighing, Charisa focused again.

"Wunjo wunjo wunjo
wu wa wi we wo
wun wan win wen won
wo we wi wa wu
w w w u u u n n n
."


At last, she was finished, glad that she had used the burin instead of the Intaglio spell. Carving was more work than it seemed because of all the concentration, but Charisa was content with the results.
