>What use is the luck rune in Glorantha/RQ?
It's used in the Holy Country although the exact details are not known save that the contest to choose the next pharaoh is called the 'Masters of Luck and Death' tournament.

Yes. In Jolar, there is even a plant called 'Damn-my-luck'.

And quite a few of those spells are generalized luck spells. I imagine there are quite a few gloranthans who have luck totems.

An attempt to alter alterable destiny.
