Oh, hey, Pops! Gol! I was wondering when you two would show up, and don't panic; I had a feeling something like this would come up, and I have it all planned out.

See, to a degree, Gol is correct that this is similar in design to the powers of Ms Goldenweek. However, the big difference here is that instead of simply controlling someone to their will like she would, these assist in helping any Shepherd in enduring attacks normally fatal to mortal man.

That, and the Shepherds themselves (the Alfonzaur line especially) have been specially trained to help cope with the damage should the runes ever be washed away (as they do have to be reapplied every seven months or so).
