Pegasus

Flies its faith island across the sky — up to three fuels, never opposite; the stronger its Tier and fuel, the further the flight.

Pattern​

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

3 × 3, 3 layers high. Drawn on the ground, on a wall, or on a ceiling, facing any direction.

  • Tier block × 12
    Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
  • Optional cell × 6
    Leave it empty or place a block here; the rune wakes either way.
  • Activation block
    The glowing cell is the one to click.

How it works​

Pegasus flies its island across the sky. Build the cube wholly inside the island, around its gold heart, and give it fuel in one of two ways:

  • Hand fuel. Hold a Tier block and right-click a face of the gold heart. The island flies away from the face you clicked.
  • Slot fuel. Seat up to three Tier blocks in the six slots around the heart, and right-click it with an empty hand. Each fuel pushes the island toward its own side, and the pushes add up, so two fuels on neighbouring sides send it on a diagonal.

Skyhold answers the pegasus and begins to glide 18 blocks west… The fuel is spent, and the rune stays for the next flight.

Distance​

Each fuel carries the island the rune's Tier squared, times the fuel block's Tier.

Good to know​

  • Fuel in your hand and in the slots at once is refused, and so are fuels directly across from each other.
  • The path must be clear the width of the island. Obstacles block the flight path — Pegasus will not pass through.
  • A block of diamond on the island pins it in place.
  • A Flight Ward keeps Pegasus cold inside its sphere.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/pegasus.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

SettingDefaultWhat it does
animatetrueWhen true, the island moves over multiple ticks. When false, it relocates in one step.
volumetric-transfertrueWhen animate is on, scale duration and per-tick work to moved block volume. When false, the slice animation uses a fixed 4-second (80-tick) duration.
check-pathtrueWhen true, Pegasus requires a clear cylinder of the island's diameter along its path.
glass-wavetrueWhen true, Pegasus shows a glass wave on air at the leaving and arriving faces.
blocks-per-tick250Blocks moved per game tick while the transfer is animated.
