'''Degenerate runes''' are [[Rune|runes]] which are incomplete, lacking either a sink or a font. Runes which possess both a sink and a font but lack any other structure are sometimes considered degenerate, but academic analysis traditionally describes such runes as simply ''uncoordinated'' rather than ''degenerate''.

By far the most well-known degenerate rune is [[Skeld]], which is used primarily for its side-effect of absorbing an arbitrary amount of power via its unbounded sink, which has the effect of controlling [[aethersickness]].

In academia, degenerate runes are most often encountered in the domain of [[runic synthesis]], though such techniques became largely a lost art following the [[chaos wars]].
