Runes
Runes, introduced with Vessel of Hatred, come in two types: Ritual runes generate Offering through a condition, Invocation runes spend it to trigger an effect. Two runes in an item with two sockets form a runeword. This database lists every rune and its effect — usable with the sockets of many items.
