Runic Magic
Would you like to see Runic Magic at play in Elbaf? Runic Magic is somewhat interesting because it does not work as other magical applications do. It differs from other magical applications because it actively affects the world through runes instead of allowing for passive divination.
It's very common for runes to exist alongside other magic systems. Typically, runes are presented as a Boring, but Practical alternative form of magic; an individual rune may take a long time to inscribe and create, compared to quicker spellcasting, and they may not produce equally potent effects, but runes will also be portrayed as much safer and more reliable than other magic. This may be particularly emphasized when regular magic is already depicted as difficult to use and prone to dangerous failures. Runes also tend to be specialized for enhancing or altering the objects they are inscribed upon — you won't be able to shoot fireballs with runes, although you may be able to use them to create a Flaming Sword. - tvtropes.org
I'll list some notable points below.
- It is common for runes to exist alongside other magic systems. In other words, it is possible to have it integrate with the haki system.
- Runes may be portrayed as much safer and more reliable than other magic. This may be emphasized when regular magic is already shown to be difficult to use and prone to dangerous failures. Luffy uses forms that require high haki usage and and it is prone to the dangerous failure of it going out of control or causing him to be incapacitated if he does not achieve his goals in a limited time.
- It can let people do shit like make flaming swords
