But once you add a runestone to a skill, it’ll transform and become even more powerful. Runestones can alter nearly everything about a skill -- the way it looks, how many enemies it hits, and what happens to those unfortunate enough to be caught in its path.

In our newest systems article, we show off several examples of just how much runestones will change the game for each character class. ]]> blizzard@blizzard.com (Blizzard Entertainment) http://www.blizzard.com/news/?2011-05#250900 Wed, 25 May 2011 9:00:00 PDT /community/fanart/?ip=warcraft The Blizzard Fan Art Section has been updated with 4 new pieces of fan artwork set within the Warcraft universe.
