Runeys evolved to associate with aspects of nature. They use a photosynthesis-like method of getting food and expel a gas into the air at a much higher quantity than previously seen. Many creatures convert this in their bodies as magic when breathed in. This fundamentally changed life on the planet and how animals interacted, evolved and shaped the world.
