Death Rune is the second level of general killing runes.
Once in place, it will kill up to 20 enemy hostile military or diplomatic units, excluding scouts and spies. Scouts and spies are not affected since their actions are not viewed as specifically hostile. Upon depleting or canceling the rune, no other rune can be cast for 6 hours.
The number of charges and the number of affected units can be enhanced by a Runemasters' Grounding. The number of charges is determined at the time of the spell.
