Practical use

Using Pestilent Recoil

The current rune text assigns Pestilent Recoil to a Two-Handed Weapon. Use that explicit equipment scope before spending insertion or extraction resources.

Strike with two corrupted melee blows, then leap back and unleash a toxic wave of plague energy toward your enemy.

Evidence boundary: Compatibility and technique wording come from the installed public-build localization. The page does not claim that the rune is preinstalled, free to move, or identical across future patches.
