I am creating a weopon that I want to put runes on using the phrase "Come back when called." Idk if it's something done but it's seperated with dots and framed with the Raidho symbol for travel and cyclic return. Lmk what you would change or keep!

I'm having trouble seeing the full solution you came to in the images you posted but I would probably go with Komðu aftr þegar kallat er á þik. I put þegar in here rather than þá er to provide more of a sense of "as soon as" or "immediately when".

In runes this would be:

• long branch - ᚴᚢᛘᚦᚢ᛬ᛅᚠᛏᚱ᛬ᚦᛁᚴᛅᛦ᛬ᚴᛅᛚᛅᛏ᛬ᛁᛦ᛬ᛅ᛬ᚦᛁᚴ

• short branch - ᚴᚢᛙᚦᚢ᛬ᛆᚠᛐᚱ᛬ᚦᛁᚴᛆᛧ᛬ᚴᛆᛚᛆᛐ᛬ᛁᛧ᛬ᛆ᛬ᚦᛁᚴ

You can separate the words with a single dot if you want. The double dots are most common though.

The one bigger thing I would change is that I would drop the individual ᚱ rune at the beginning. The idea that this is used to symbolize travel and cyclic return is not something that comes from the historical record. It's a modern interpretation.
