Runes are a type of socketable item introduced in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. The player can insert them into socketed items to add many magical attributes. The type of attribute added depends on the socketed item.
Runes are unique as they can be used to create Rune Words. Rune words are special combinations of runes that bestow not only the benefits of the associated runes but also add many powerful magical attributes due to their combination.
Some of them can also be used for purposes such as repairing equipment. Some of them are used in crafting recipes.
Another type of rune serve as traps, activating a spell. Although these runes cannot be added to the player's inventory.
Runes in the Lord of Destruction were identified by certain mystical words (Eg:Ko Rune). In Diablo 3, their names are much more descriptive (Eg:Minor Lethality Rune).
In patched versions of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, all runes can be upgrade to higher runes by using the Horadric Cube to transmute three same runes much like gems. These recipes often require the use of gems for higher runes.
