-----Rune Components------

-----Trigger Components-----

Multiple copies of the same trigger can be added to a rune. If a rune has two or
more different triggers, the trigger is the first selected trigger or the next
selected trigger, and so on, whichever trigger happens first. Certain triggers can
be combined to create a more specific trigger conditions. A Rune must have a
Trigger Component as part of it, but larger runes only need one Trigger at a
minimum.

If combined with other triggers, the rune becomes active or inactive when the
trigger is met and consumes one use upon activation.

combined with other triggers, the rune begins activating or stops activating at the
