I wonder about that myself, actually. The extent of carmanian paranoia is largely a story issue but if the viziers could detect a Darkness rune taint then, all else being equal, I expect they would want to do something about it. So, this leads us to ask "just how detectable is a character's runic affiliation?" Is it just a game mechanic thing or can a runic attunement be detected with the right magic?
