I wonder about the Malkioni and the Law Rune. Would all of them have it, by the way? Or do all Wizards have it (I seem to recall some interesting attempts to match castes to runes...)? A whole different topic, I suppose, but still fascinating.
But if it's common enough then I wonder if converting to a Western religion requires getting the Law Rune.
