Runes

Runes can be inserted into some weapons and armors in order to give them special abilities. Once a rune is added to an item, it becomes part of the item and cannot be removed.

Look for empty slots next to the icon of your weapons and armor to see how many Runes each item can accept.

Color Runes are also available; they change the color of your armor, but do not take up a rune slot. You can buy these in Aesir or occasionally you will find them off destroyed enemies.

The Mastery runes [runes which increase your skill level or special abilities] are not specific to your class or even your alignment for example, with a human character you can find a cybernetic mastery rune and use it on your weopons or armour, the only problem with this is that there isn't a description of what the skill or ability is so check out what it is before using it.
