I was reading earlier posts about rune crushing and possible benefits or awards. I can see titles being awarded for destruction. How about something a little niftier though? Couldn't enough destruction of magic do something like help build an aura of anti magic? Maybe a boost either temporary or not to magic resistance? Or perhaps another explanation could be the barbarians get a morale boost for destroying so much magic? Perhaps this could do the same thing except it is not an aura of anti magic but a mind over magic thing. Or what if you could save the dust from the runestones and create some sort of anti magic war paint? It could take a decent amount of time to put on and perhaps completely negate a single spell? This way you couldn't just keep painting yourself if you are fighting an enemy that is tossing out spells left and right. Maybe it will just give you a second chance instead of instant death vs dragon breath or that necro acid stuff?
Anyways I am not a barbarian but I thought those might be reasonable ideas.
P.S. If GMs can keep count of runestones crushed can they keep count of how many people you taught slips?
