When the rune gets to its target, it explodesin a 5’ radius of flame. All creatures in that radius will have tomake a DEX saving throw to avoid half of the 2d6 damage.  Since three basic runes were used, the final point cost is 3.A hero caster wants to combine a spell focus rune (expert rune),icicle (basic rune), and gust (expert) rune to create a spell that would have a total cost of 5 (2+1+2). The icicle will travel towards its target up to 100 yards away, shattering on impact inflicting 2d6 damage.  Since focus was used, the attack has advantage.An aspirant combines a heat rune with an illuminate rune(both basic) that costs 2 points, and creates a runespell on the ground that emits both light and heat in a 10ftradius, remaining until dispelled or disturbed.</blockquote>
