hello happy forum visitors, do any of you know if there are "any other True Rune like things in other games/stories./ect"?

I ask, in case I ever become a writer, I had a long time ago my "own magic stones" At the time I watched DICs horrid rendition of Sailor Moon and played my copy of Suikoden 1, (one stone was made by somone else though, but it was a split stone of ballance, easy to re-work and re-create as my own)

anway my stones are a "little weak" and "Lack some substance" there are 17 of them, most are "patrons of their magic type" non govren anything and some are preety stupid, like only being able to revive "good/clean/sin-less" people or "make you float/fly"

but there is one, one who is close to me, this one has absolutly nothing written about it, its said to be extreamly powerfull and many have been killed over it. Its name is "eye of the beholder" and its "a black opal".

another "omipotent" stone is an imortality one, a prismatic crystal. It just makes the owner immortal and invinciable(invisable is not seeing)

I want to make my stones special, but without blatenly ripping off the True Runes, this is where my question comes in, is there any "influance" from an outside source? I want my "wind stone" to do more than give the bearer "immedite mastery of wind-magic, ablity to master song/instruments and gain psycic ablites"

where is my sailor Moon tie in? all stones merge togher forming somthing very special and powerfull, I'll laugh if the TRs do that.

so here is our discussion! "are there any other true rune like magic stones in other places, in myths, religion, games, anime, manga, anything published"
(I need real sources, not "my little cousin Fredrika has some magic stones, they dubble as animal gods too")

The things i knew is the rune in norse myth.
It's not like magic stones, I guess it's some kind of writings.
It's said that Odin sacrifice his eye to drink water from Mymir's well so that he can understand the rune.

Didn't that show InuYasha have crystals that gave great power or something like that? I don't watch it that often (It's before Detective Conan, which I MUST watch), but I know that some people here are crazy about the show, they must know for sure.

BUT, I am sure that they were crystals that gave great power to their wielders.

usually, with stories about magic stones or crystals is that they have a gigantic impact on the realm.

An example that comes to mind is Final Fantasy V. You had to protect those stones/altars/whatevers of Fire Wind Water and Earth. If the Water is destroyed then there'll be no currents running through the enitre world.

I believe the Dragon Rune in the Suikoworld makes a huge impact. It allows the dragons to exist in this world, right?

I might be wrong, I`m no expert on Norse mythology, but I think that`s a little incorrect. The way I learned it, Odin gained vast knowledge by drinking from Mimir`s well, not the ability to read runes.

The rune alphabet was used here in Norway during the Viking period(roughly 700-1000 AD) and during the early Middle Ages. It is called "Futhark", after the first characters.

I have a proof, but it's only from a book.
"Odin drink from Mimir's well to understand the language of the rune"
I got the info from the book "Edda" by Snorri Sturrlusson (sorry if the spelling's wrong)

He said that if the rune could be understood by any being, it can give him superb knowledges.
By that I conclude that he got the knowledge to read the rune from Mimir's well, and from the rune he got the superb knowledge.
Anyway, it's just my oppinion. I leave it to someone with more knowledge of Norse myth, someone like Falcon Critical to answer it.
