Rune Abilities
The slate is able to receive Runes, a form of information that bestows to Link a number of different abilities.

Magnesis
The Magnesis Rune is acquired in Shrine Oman Au. This Rune allows Link to lift and move metallic objects with an electromagnetic force.

Remote Bomb
The Remote Bomb Rune is acquired in Shrine Ja Baij. This Rune allows Link to summon a bomb. The bombs come in two different shapes: round bombs, which Link can roll to their destination, and cubed bombs, which remain in their dropped location. As the bombs are controlled remotely, the moment of the bomb's detonation are able to be controlled.

Stasis
The Stasis Rune is acquired in Shrine Owa Daim. This Rune allows Link to temporarily stop the motion of moving objects by freezing them in time. Additionally, while objects are in a condition of stasis, they are able to absorb any kinetic energy that is applied to them. When their stasis expires, the object resumes it motion, but with the added kinetic energy that it had absorbed. As a result, Link can make use of the Stasis Rune to drive large objects over vast distances.

Cryonis
The Cryonis Rune is acquired in Shrine Ke Numut. This Rune allows Link to create pillars of ice from a body of water. The pillars of ice can be used as stepping stones to faraway areas, barriers to shield Link from enemies, or as wedges to lift gates and platforms. Link is also able to climb the exterior walls of the pillars of ice. Existing pillars of ice can be broken with a repeated use of the Cryonis Rune.
