You would still need the verbal components. the rune becomes the material and somatic components, but if the spell needs verbal components, you'd still need the spell requirements.Endeavor wrote: Could another individual use one (as per a grenade or molotov cocktail type thing), or would that be just like they were tossing a rock due to their Rune ineptitude?
I'd be like a fighter picking up cobwebs or a ball of wax and sulfur, trying to cast fireball.. he'd need to know the spells verbal components.
NOW< the exception to it would be the spell Contingency
If a wizard who somehow knew how to read Runic symbols.. saw he found an already carved fireball rune..and he knew the spell already.. YES he could use the rune to cast fireball ( goes back to having a dwarf sweatshop)
