Editing Myrddin (section)

===='Runes'====
Myrddin can draw a 'rune' or sign in the air to 'code' a gate and control output/input, allowing him to better shape the resulting dimension-specific effect.<ref name="Discord eRunes">'''Wildbow:''' The flight and runes are extensions of the actual power.<br>[...]<br>He has access to pocket dimensions, like a vacuum, one with heat and concussive flame, etc.  He uses runes to 'code' the gates and control output/input. - Comment by Wildbow on Cauldron Discord</ref>
*He could draw a glowing symbol in the air that then explodes outward, firing a blast of concussive force in the same shape as the symbol. This allowed him to target specific combatants while ignoring his teammates. [[Trickster]] speculated that this was opening a crack into a dimension filled with compressed air.<ref name="17.7 eConcussive">Myrddin shifted his staff, and Krouse tensed.<br><br>Where the staff-tip moved, a thread of blinding light was drawn in the air, loose and loopy, like the light trail from a sparkler.<br><br>The light exploded outward with a concussive force, and both Krouse and Noelle were slammed against the walls.  The shape of the trail Myrddin had drawn meant the resulting blast passed over and to either side of his lantern-bearing teammate.  Her clothes were barely ruffled.<br><br>''He has personal dimensions he carries around with him'', Krouse theorized.  ''And each one follows different rules.  One holds banished people, maybe that one holds energy or compressed air, and he just needs to open it a crack to let the stuff out.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/14 Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.7]]</ref> He could use this power several times in rapid succession.<ref name="19.6">[[Scourge 19.6]]</ref> This blast could be powerful enough to push [[Echidna]] around.<ref name="19.5 ePush">Echidna charged Myrddin and the heroes that accompanied him.  He used his staff to draw something into the air.  My bugs could feel a vibration, see the white blur of a light source.<br><br>The sign he’d drawn exploded outward, striking Echidna on her right side.  It was enough to alter her course, and her shoulder slammed into the corner of one building.  Her body dragged against the building’s face until that she had to stop and pull away. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/05 Excerpt] from  [[Scourge 19.5]]</ref>
* Could draw a 'dark sign' in midair that suctioned incoming matter (e.g. bodies, bugs, dust, gore, mist etc.) into it.<ref name="8.3 e1">''Tidal Wave.''<br>[...]<br>The water surging around us stopped abruptly, evaporated into a mist in a second.  Swirling, the mist began drifting.<br><br>Myrddin, working with Eidolon. They stood in the center of the road, Eidolon turning the water into mist, while Myrddin gathered it.  Myrddin’s wooden stick was held aloft, and the mist was forming a sphere the size of a beachball at one end.<br><br>Ok, I could ''almost'' buy the wizard angle, seeing that. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10 Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> This vacuum was powerful enough to pull nearby combatants toward him.<ref name="19.5 e1">Chevalier and Myrddin made an effective duo.<br>[...]<br>Myrddin, for his part, coupled versatility with raw power to devastating effect. He had a bag of tricks and switched from one to another without hesitation. Echidna spewed a stream of bodies and gore, and Myrddin drew a dark sign into the air, suctioning the incoming matter into it. I sensed Chevalier and Tecton slamming their weapons into the nearest surfaces to avoid being pulled in, catching hold of allies who weren’t so capable. Then my own bugs were yanked toward the crevice and violently crushed against all of the other debris, leaving me momentarily blind in that area. More of my bugs flowed in, giving me time to see Chevalier delivering a series of powerful sword strikes and cannon shots at Echidna, not letting up. He paused, throwing himself into a side-alley as Noelle tried to stomp on him, and Myrddin released the matter he’d suctioned in as a condensed bullet of gore, dust, crushed bodies and dead bugs.<br><br>Perhaps the strongest thing about the partnership between the two heroes was how well it accommodated others.  Heroes with ranged powers were free to unload on Echidna while the other two fought, and heroes like Tecton could offer further support, destroying the ground beneath her feet.  She was big enough now that he couldn’t trap her, but he could make her stumble, or bring concrete from the nearby buildings raining down on top of her. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/05 Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.5]]</ref> Myrddin then released this collected matter as a condensed projectile: for example; after [[Eidolon]] evaporated a tidal wave from [[Leviathan]] into mist, Myrddin gathered it to form a beachball-sized sphere, then launched the orb at the Endbringer, sending him flying into a nearby building.<ref name="8.3 e2">Leviathan leaped from the roof of a nearby building, landing in the midst of one group that was still reeling from the wave, started tearing through them.<br>[...]<br>Myrddin pointed his staff and launched that orb at Leviathan.  It hit harder than anything yet, and the brute was sent flying into the interior of a nearby building. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10 Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref>
**He presumably used a version of this ability to remove radioactive dust that had become enmeshed within Wanton.<ref>"Myrddin caught up with me, collected all the radioactive stuff," [[Wanton]] said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/26 Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.3]]</ref>
