No no no. I'm currently watching the series and I think it's great, but I'm explaining true knowledge of runes to you in modern magick- which is what the runes in this series and the sorcery the characters use, are based off of. I'm telling you actual real world runes the characters in this anime COULD have used and HOW they could have used them to get the results you had desired above. In this series they can make runes appear on cards that fly through the air. Similarly a modern magician does this in his mind to alter the space surrounding him. I'll use another well known movie series as another example to show you my point here. In the Harry Potter series, magicians are also able to magickally make symbols and entities appear (among other things). This ability to make magick appear and bend laws of energy to the whims of the sorcerer (as they call them in this anime) is a very real thing modern magick users do, except we do it in our mind's eye energetically. We make runes energetically appear and use them much in the same way they do in this series to create energetic structure in the world surrounding us. You CAN write them if you wish as well, and placement doesn't matter- it's only limited to your creativity. I will admit I'm not finished with this anime yet, but I was pleasantly surprised at how true to actual real world magick this anime is. I figured a wikia interested in understanding the runes in the anime would want to understand how the ones in the anime fit and tie into reality and how the real runes the authors left out could've tied into the story had they intended them to. Runes are DEFINITELY used in this anime by more than just Stiyl, so I figured it was important to the discussion. If I'm wrong, then I suppose you just learned some awesome occult knowledge that ties into this awesome anime.
