That's right. [He nods.] Regular runes are descended from True Runes. They aren't as powerful, but they're much more common, and they still get the job done. There are a few people here from my world, but none of them are Rune Masters, so even if we could find runes here, there's no way we'd be able to use them. Likewise, if anyone came here with a rune, they wouldn't be able to take it off.

[That comment kind of catches him by surprise, though. He lets out a bit of a laugh, too.] Is it? I never really thought of it as complicated.
