	In some areas, the Rune of Mystery is called the Pestle and Mortar, and represents the use of narcotics. Anything that dulls the mind and unshackles reason falls under this rune, and while it is often seen in a negative light there are some who claim that by voluntarily seeking out such states their intuition becomes sharper and their ability to transcend the constraints of plodding logic is sharpened. In this aspect, Wyr also represents confusion and uncertainty, as well as physical phenomena such as fog or mist.

	This rune has an adversarial relationship with [[Ophis]], Rune of Revelation, The illumination of the Lantern destroys mysteries, exposes romance and beguilement to the tawdry light of day, and renders the unknown and the alluring banal and commonplace.

The hard work and effort represented by that rune complement the nature of Wyr - the more someone tries to understand Wyr, the more alluring and mysterious it may become.

	Wyr is used directly to uncover mysteries, and may be evoked in magic that obscures facts or identities.
