Help me out a bit,

I really like the idea of players picking the three runes their characters are connected to / have aptitude for.

What is less clear to me from the new Glorantha books is this.

1. Is it possible for these runes to change. If so, when and how does it happen.
2. Is it always three? Is it possible to "gain more runes"? If a heortling woman, let's say [earth, fertility, magic] in her travels comes accross a society that teach her the secrets of fire magic, what happens. Is it possible to gain more runes (I know one can't usually have two elemental ones), or does the fire magic turn into a separate ability? Is it impossible for her to grasp the fire magic since her soul is tied to [earth] instead of [fire)?

Thanks in advance :)
