Basic
No special effect.
The runes
Every rune has a power. Some are cursed (a neutral rune enters your bag when you buy them), corrupted (one enters each time you play them) or ethereal (they go back to the shop at the end of the round). In the shop, two identical runes combine into a level-2 rune; it only changes anything for the runes that have a level-2 effect.
