Question: Are there any runes NOT mentioned in any RQ3 product that existed
in RQ2? Paul mentions the implicit Enchant Slave Bracelets and Enchant Slave
collar for Ompalam, which implies a Slavery rune.

What I'm getting at, are there "Missing Runes"? And if so, should we add
more? Slavery makes a nice balance to Mastery, Fate balances Luck, etc. The
classic "elements" have opposites, so should there not be balances to other
runes?

I figure Harmony is opposite of disorder (not Law), with Law the opposite
of Chaos.

Only the truly "Big Guns" runes have no opposites: Infinity, for example.
That's why it takes so much effort to master them...look at it as a lever
pushed up on the ends by the force of the rune...with nothing to counteract
Infinity, you have an "incline".
