Here are some of the Runes the Shadowhunters use:
•Iratze: the iratze is a healing rune. It is often partially drawn by Shadowhunters before going to battle to allow them to quickly finish it and heal themselves.
•Fearless: the fearless rune was created by Clary and was used on both Alec and Jace in City of Ashes. It makes the user afraid of nothing.
•Mendelin: the mendelin rune grants invisibility. It casts a glamour over the person who wears it and allows them to hide from mundanes and, in some cases, demons.
•Alliance: One of the Runes that Clary created that was used on the Nephilim and Downworlder army during the battle against Valentine in City of Glass. It's shaped like a simple yet complex tie of knot, as described in the book.
•Open: a simple rune Clary uses to open various things throughout the series.
•The Mark of Cain: Clary used it in order to prevent Raphael from killing Simon in the City of Glass. If someone tries to harm the person with the mark of Cain, he or she will be harmed by a power seven times stronger than the one used to harm the person with the Mark of Cain.
•Clairvoyant Sight
•Parabatai: A rune that partners two Shadowhunters together, so they can draw on each other's strength
•Voyance: A "permanent" rune given to a Shadowhunter at a young age on the back of the hand to aid in steadiness. However, it fades if/when Nephilim drinks Lilith's blood as described in City of Lost Souls.
•Rune of Quietude: This rune is used by the Silent Brothers to silence themselves. It is placed on the back of the neck. Valentine places this rune upon Clary in City of Glass, silencing her while he summons Raziel.
•Permanant Loyalty Rune: Valentine mentioned that there was a rune that bound
•Tracking Runes: Often used by the Clave to track down criminals. With a possession of the person it is possible to follow them. It can also be used to see what the person being tracked is seeing. Isabelle uses it to track Jace in City of Glass.
•Binding Rune: Is used on criminals to bind their hands. It can create a ring of fire-like handcuffs around their wrists. Other binding runes can pervent one's legs from supporting their weight.
•Enkeli: Is also called an angelic power rune. They are often placed on weapons Shadowhunters used to give them angelic power. This washes away all demonic power from the object and prevents demons stabbed by the weapons from healing.
•Fire Rune: Is used to create fire.
•Acid Rune: Can burn away any surface like acid touched it.
•Necromancy Rune: This rune, when placed on a deceased Shadowunter, brings them back to life. It is not permanent and will fade over time, but it allows them to be talked to for a time. However, their soul had been forcefully pulled back to the world of the living. That combined with any pain their injuries would have caused them would cause them immense pain and would make it nearly impossible to speak. When the rune is destroyed they die once again. Clary creates this rune in City of Fallen Angels, though it goes horribly wrong. Luke uses a form of acid to destroy the rune on the man's body.
•Sangliers: it is used to transfer blood when the body needs it, but is extremely dangerous. (also known as Blood Transfer Runes)
