Turning Runic into Cover

^ that up there plus:

what he is saying is he is desperately looking for the branch that Runic uses which signifies its actual execution after using the ability. As how when Runic is used, any magic attack (friend and foe alike) would 'execute' the command 'runic' and the ability would be used. He wants to make it so that only the enemies' attack would activate the execution of the ability as opposed to either friend or foe's action.
