[Unlocking Rune Sight means to open one's mind's eye to allow the sight of Runes. Unlocking Rune Visualization means being capable of seeing not just the two-dimensional structure of Runes, but being able to experience its full 3D structure with a single glance. Rune Enlightenment represents a state of being able to comprehend the likely ability of a Rune simply by feel.
[To move through these first three stages usually required familiarity, time, and patience. Much like master chess players who can rely on pattern recognition in crucial moments, so too must a Rune Master be capable of such things.
[However, Rune Breath is a well-known dividing line. Many laymen can reach Rune Enlightenment given enough years and effort. However, Rune Breath is a chasm that separates the talented from the untalented.
[If a new Rune Master just starting out would like to learn Rune Breath, the best advice is to hope and pray.]
