+The rune designer is given a 10 x 10 grid to work on, and can choose between one and three colors. Clicking within a cell fills it in, clicking again cycles to the next color or blank. After creating their desired rude, the client generates the clues along the borders and the puzzle can be opened to the public.
 Note, it is entirely possible that any particular rune might have multiple valid solutions!  Hence, being able to finish and judge a puzzle should rely on filling in the grid in such a fashion that it meets the requirements, even if that does not match the designers initial layout.

 This test is probably most similar to Pathmaker or Hexaglyphs in terms of thought processes required, and construction costs could be of similar nature.  Wire made of some sort of alloy to form the grid, canvas for a background, firebrick base, black raeli tiles as playing pieces.  Since the flavour text makes oblique reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet Emerald Tablet,] construction requirements of variously sized Emeralds, Cut Jade, or even Green Sun Marble might be suitable.

-An Alchemist's Rune (more commonly known as a nonogram) is a 10x10 square grid with numbers along the left and upper edges indicating how many cells in that row or column need to be filled in.  Individual numbers indicate how many of those cells need to be adjacent to each other, while a comma indicates that there is a gap of any number of cells.

-A great discovery from Tyana!  A series of ancient tablets, inspired by Thoth himself, have been unearthed.  If deciphered, these tablets could reveal the secrets of the philosopher's stone and life itself.  Unfortunately, the text is so cryptic, that even the hieroglyphs themselves were not written down, but are obscured by a numeric code.  Mastering this code is the first step to discovering the secrets that Thoth graced our ancestors with.
