"It sounds like you are just trying to make a rune formation with herbs instead of using runes." Gil's off handed comment came when no one has realized that he had woken up from his nap.
"That's exactly it! Nature is the best rune master!" Mikeal was sure that Gil had understood the vision that he had in his head.
"Nature might be the best at making runes, but you know that we don't have half the amount of mana to cause natural runes to appear here. That could take another fifty years potentially." Walker's knowledge on this fact was much clearer.
The natural runes that they were trying to form would be impossible right now. Simply put, the world lacked the density of mana needed. No one had seen natural runes and Walker had only been able to view them and cause them to appear within certain circumstances.
