Nordic Charms is a challenging cipher puzzle game where you charm and/or curse your village by casting spells with stone runes. 

Story:

Somewhere in the Kalmar Union, early second century C.E. 

A young Scandinavian peasant finds a collection of artifacts in the basement of an abandoned homestead. A large stone tablet with inset holes that strongly resemble the set of small runes placed atop. Unsure of what they do, where they came from or why they're here, the adolescent decides that there's only one thing to do -- play with them. Nearby, there's a piece of parchment which reads as follows:

Runic alphabet - The Codex of Ultima Wisdom, a wiki for Ultima and Ultima  Online

Discover nearly 200 enchantments*, both charms and curses, before you get caught and thanked (or banished) for your deeds! A HELP feature is available for those who would prefer a less cypher-based experience.

Known issue at the time of upload: multiple runes can be slotted into the same slot, which causes them to overlap and stick together. To return all runes to their original location, simply fill the remaining slots.

*spelling some words may not be possible in the current version but will be implemented in the future. Did I miss a spellable word (that fits the theme and story)? Let me know in the comments!
