Rune
CONCEPT
A rune is normally an ancient letter or symbol, often carved into a stone or gem, infused with mystical power. In many games they confer new abilities on a character, or add effects to an item.


Diablo III (Game)

In Diablo 3 runes are used to modify skills that player character has. There are five runes per skill and runes are unlocked by leveling character. In maximum level all runes are unlocked and player may freely experiment with skill and rune combinations.

Doom (2016)

In Doom there are rune stones in some levels which player may interact with. These rune stones will present player a combat challenge which upon completion will grant player a rune power. These rune powers may also be improved by completing rune specific tasks.
