Blasts targets with long range rune enhanced spells

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Ael'dan has witnessed the power of world shattering runes as they destroyed his home world, having to flee after its destruction. Growing up, he took it upon himself to learn of their power, how to yield them, and most importantly, how to control them, and now seeks them lest others abuse their power. All art belong to their respective owners

This is a very interesting concept and your best one yet! I like how this is both OP at first but its contradicted by its RNG element. You fight with what you have at your disposal and still have the ability to change it via aggression or patience.
