Mound

Heaps the earth into a hollow shelter-dome above itself in a breath; any Tier raises the same dome, and the whole pattern is spent.

Pattern​

  • Tier block × 5
    Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
  • Air or a Tier 0 block × 32
    Leave these as air, or fill them with Tier 0 blocks such as dirt or stone.
  • Activation block
    The glowing cell is the one to click.
  • Spent
    Cells with a corner mark are used up when the rune wakes.

How it works​

The Mound heaps the earth into an instant shelter. Wake it, and the pattern is spent as a hollow dome of dirt rises over the rune, four blocks in radius. The earth heaps itself into a shelter over you (152 blocks).

The dome fills only open air, so the ground and anything already standing stay as they are. Where you stand, the way out stays open.

Tips​

Carry the blocks for a Mound when you travel. When night falls far from home, a dome of dirt is one click away.

Configuration​

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