# Rune
## What is Rune?
Rune is a new function that increases the power of mongen.
Each mongen can equip up to 6 runes at the same time.
If equipped with the correct rune type and location, mongen will activate a runeword
Runeword when equipped activates special effects.
The more rare the runes in the runeword, the stronger the effects of the runeword.
