"Did you understand what I am trying to say?" Luna asked, looking at my face, which appeared to be contemplating something.

"Yes, what you basically are trying to say is that I should take the rule power I have comprehended and shape it in accordance with my understanding of the rule and its meaning." I answered Luna with a quick summary of what she guided me with.

"Umm… good. You are a quick learner. Now put what you learned into practice. I will be here to guide you, so don't be worried." Luna asked me to start forging runes, and she would be right next to me if I needed her help.

"About that, I wanted to go to the Blood rock cave to forge my rune. No offense, you are a good mentor, but I think the Blood Rock Cave is an optimal place for me to forge my rune." I rejected Luna's kind assistance to monitor me as I forged my very first rune.

Because I planned to forge my rune at the Blood rock cave, hoping that particular location would give me more access to the Blood rule's meaning I have comprehended, and that way I would not have to spend a lot of time trying to forge the rune.

"Isn't that the dungeon the Blood supreme is sealed in? Over the years, that place should have turned into a holy place for blood rule comprehension. Does that mean the first rule you comprehended is the blood rule? If it's a blood rule, I can understand why you would prefer to forge your rune in the Blood Rock cave gate dungeon instead of under the my guidance." It did not take Luna long to understand my inclination to forge my rune in the Blood Rock Cave gate dungeon.

"So we're good?" I asked. Luna was similar to my half mentor, so I cared for her opinion.

"The Blood rule stream in the blood rock cave should be way denser than the one here. There you can easily gain access to the blood rule meaning you have comprehended. Forging your rune there would be more efficient, so I will allow it. I think you have enough theoretical knowledge and would not require my assistance in forging your rune. But I will warn you to proceed carefully while forging the rune because the slightest misconception of the rule could become the Achilles heel of your rune.

Your shortcomings in the understanding of the rule and its meaning may become the flaws of your rune. Runes are strong weapons of war for card apprentices, but if they have too many flaws or a single obvious flaw, the rune will become worthless.

Therefore, before beginning to forge the rune, gather the knowledge you have comprehended through the rule and its meaning. And then choose from the understanding which you think is the correct understanding of the rule and its meaning. If your knowledge of the rule and its meaning is flawed, the rune forged will be full of flaws. The greater the flaws in the rune forged, the weaker its strength.

So be careful when you forge your rune unless you are 100% certain that your understanding of the rune and its meaning has fewer flaws. I advise you not to forge a rune because it will be a waste of time." Luna warned me not to be haste in forging a rune because if my understanding of blood rule and its meaning is flawed, the rune forged would be lackluster and weak. A total waste of my time.

"…" Hearing Luna's words, I cannot help but frown because it would be impossible to know if the rule we compounded was flawed or flawless. Because if we knew that, then we wouldn't have chosen to travel the flawed comprehension path of the rule and its meaning.

"Wyatt, do not overthink it. To find if the rule you comprehend is filled with flaws or not, just use the meaning of the rule you have comprehended by empowering it with your rule power. If that results in the response that you were expecting, then good the path you comprehended is not entirely flawed. If the response is not the same as you expected, then there are some flaws in your comprehension. The degree to which the response deviated from your expectation is the percentage of flaws in comprehension of runes. That's how you find the flaws in your comprehension of runes, and there is no other way." Seeing my confused face, Anna decided to chip in her experience to help me understand how to find flaws in the rules I have comprehended. But hearing Anna's explanation made me more confused because I only knew the name of the meaning I was comprehending from blood rule and yet had to deduce what it could do.

Now, this was my dilemma. Even though I had enough rule power and knew the name of the meaning I had comprehended, I still did not understand what it does. Without understanding the capabilities of the meaning I choose, how do I test it for flaws? So I narrated my dilemma to Anna and Luna, "The name of the blood rule meaning I choose to comprehend is Fate Plunder, but I do not know what it is capable of. So how do I know if I am heading the right way?"

" 'Fate Plunder'? Does the Blood rule even have such a meaning? And you… you, how dare you to forge a rune without understanding your blood rule's meaning properly." Luna asked in surprise.

"There are infinite meanings of every rule. There is no way we card apprentices will know them all. But your dilemma is not unheard of.

Either you have traveled the flawed path from the very beginning, or you still need to increase your mastery of the blood rule and the meaning itself. To truly understand its capability.

I advise you to increase your mastery of the meaning before you even consider forging a rune. The rest is up to you." Anna calmly gave her input and left the choice to my will.

According to Anna, I still did not know what the capabilities of the blood rule meaning I comprehended were because my comprehension was flawed or I still did not have enough mastery.
