Using possibly magical letters (5)

I believe the answer is:

runic

(Other definitions for runic that I've seen before include "In a Norse alphabet" , "Relating to old Germanic alphabet" , "character hard to interpret" , "Like old Scandinavian writing" , "Using Norse letters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
