An endowment is the attribute given, when a facilitator transfers a portion of one person's being to another. The giver is known as a dedicate, and the receiver is known as a runelord. The facilitator does this in a very precise ritual, involving a shaping of bloodmetal in the form of a specific rune representing the endowment to be transfered. The shaped bloodmetal is then known as a forcible. The facilitator then can use the forcible along with a series of precise chanting and gestures to transfer the endowment from dedicate to runelord.
Both the giving and receiving of a dedicate can give a shock to one's system, making the process dangerous to anyone whose health is unsteady.
If a dedicate dies the runelord experiences a cold feeling of nausea as well as a feeling a loss, with whatever attribute the dedicate had given.
