Anima (ann-im-uh)

Anima in Rhymenian means soul, or destroyer. This rune is especially dangerous, as it requires part of your soul to be lost in order to be used. The rune’s magic can give you the power of death, meaning you can kill anyone of your choice with it. For every use you lose a part of your soul, and too many uses of the rune will destroy your soul entirely.
