I'm working on a character. [@Mag Lev] What are the limits of rune magic for the average person?

Most Rune magic is limited to elemental magic, generally with a base design coming from Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark, and Spark Runes. The average user of Rune magic generally specializes in one of the types then does modifications to the rune from there. Those who wish to specialize in something beyond such as using rune magic for physical or mental protection are rare and specialize in air-light most of the time. Most runes are only used in a short burst, five seconds at least, rather than continuous usage which would drain them physically faster than the short burst. Since it is physically and mentally draining to use Runes, most casters are physically fit or meditate to maintain their self.
