[Rq-rules] more stuff on distemper aka Mask virtue of (rune metal)

[Bjorn Stolen]

I think you can get away with saying that it is defined by the runes you use 
(or the way the runes are alignet, or whatever; this is FANTASY  anyway :-), 
so that a mail-shirt could be defined by the enchantmentspell to be one 
single peace when it comes to objects, allthough it would consist of some 
20.000 rings. The way people made mails would make it possible to say that 
each ring could have a rune on them, as 50% of the rings were riveted 
together, and the other 50% were stanced out; no big deal to stance somthing 
out with a rune on, or apply a hammer ingraving a rune as the final 
rivet-blow as you finish the ring?

Another fun little detail is the fact that most mails contain one or more 
rings that are dissimliar, engraved, of a different metal (gold/silver), 
that is bigger/thicker, etc -than the other rings.

There are a million ways to use theese archaeological details as colour or 
inspiration to the rules. Perhaps a skilled crafter could get away with 
spending lesser pow than an aprentice?
