Runestones can be used to enhance a socketed steel or silver sword with a permanent enchantment that increases weapon damage, adds persistent conditions to enemies and augments spell power. Once a Runestone has been embedded, it cannot be removed without destroying the weapon. Runestones can be crafted from diagrams or purchased from merchants. Crafting lesser and greater Runestones will help reduce the cost of upgrading but requires assistance of higher-level craftsman that may be difficult to find early in the game.
VESEMIR'S LESSON
A Feline on the hunt may call upon the detriment of Morana's blessing. A Gryphon circling their prey may invoke the power Dazhbog's fire from a distance. While every Runestone is beneficial, a Witcher is strongest when their craft is focused.
