This charm typically comes on a necklace or bracelet of some kind, potentially with other consumable rune charms. When an enemy approaches in an otherwise calm situation it becomes noticeably warm to the user, imbuing them with instinctive knowledge on the relative location of the new nearby threat. The holder may choose to release the stored magic in the charm, causing it to fracture across the embossed rune, but giving them an expanded and innate sense of all threatening beings within its sphere of influence for an hour. This renders the charm inert.
Use up this charm in the shape of a round shield with an Algiz (ᛉ) rune and spend an Action.

However, at that point he might just wait for a quiet moment to paint in peace.
