The night was just setting when Arthur started to follow the traces of the gangsters. His rune, Track, which he wrote using Reality Manipulation, showed him all mana traces, smells, and heat.
This was a rune that he had to improvise on the spot, as he connected the runic lines on a whim. Therefore, it was not as stable and showed him all the remaining traces of people that had passed here today.
"How do I specify a certain time?" muttered Arthur, but he had no idea. Another rune would be needed to do that, instead of a single runic line. His current rune consisted of five sublines:
- Detect – mana.
- Detect – scent.
- Detect – enthalpy.
- Visualize.
The last line connected the other four, allowing Arthur to see those changes but no one else. However, adding another line would make the rune more advanced, making Arthur unable to do it.
