I like the idea that runes as mere decoration became "magical" with the transfer to the NW. That sounds quite intriguing. But I'm not sure Maruyama-sensei would go this route.

Another possibility is the correlation with Wild Magic. We don't know how f.e. the ring of Gazef (and now Climb) was created, but we know it was created with Wild Magic. So the enchantment that runes do might be similar or origin from Wild Magic. And only a player applied runes as "alphabet" to this magic system.
