"Well, I realized this would probably be the only opportunity I got to ever fully examine such an unusual thing. It's odd, I know, but I'm bored anyway and I do need something to do.", he'd seem to reminiscence about something, blankly staring into the air for a few seconds with a slight smile. "I suppose it's... nostalgic as well. Reminds me of better times, I used to do stuff like this constantly...". "Oh, little things you can tack on to runes to modify them? Sure, it's only fair. I have a range and time delay sub-rune you may be interested in. Allow me to get them.", he'd tell to Imgor. He'd go to the back room and get two other parchments. One labelled 'Delay', and another labelled 'Range', with two runes on it. "The first one, just write how many half-seconds you wish to delay the actual activation of the spell with, the second one is how many inches you want reduced or added to the 'area of effect'." He'd hand them to Imgor and go back to the table.
