    Use it when the action solves a real range, control, damage, or mobility need.

    Test Focus, Stamina, Health, or other costs together with range and recovery before committing the build.

    The database confirms its record and compatibility text, not a guaranteed extraction, vendor, chest, or enemy source.

  • Pairs well withCurrent record
    a Wand or a Staff with a resource loop that supports repeated use.

    Check the destination weapon's slots and treat compatible, equipped, and included-by-default as different states.

Practical use

Using Plague Explosion

The current rune text assigns Plague Explosion to a Wand or a Staff. Use that explicit equipment scope before spending insertion or extraction resources.

Detonate festering buboes that poison and corrode everything caught in their vile radius.

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.
