entangles take only nats, curse spells only take body runes...soul spells only take souls...pointless? no. Wow then let's all go *drool* cause we can hold an ugly stick that makes you save 1 inventory slot and some of your savings for basic runes... All the spells it helps with are for support mage pking and a support mage won't die for some low lvl runes lost or 1 less shark in stack. Ancient mages do the trick nowadays... I still think it's pretty pointless, other than ugly. Its uglyness is out of discussion from that pic, maybe from another angle it looks better. Sorry if as a lvl 122 i expected some more interesting stuff from a such announced update... They make it like that so attack spells don't take only one rune to cast. And hating an item just because it's ugly? Dude...that's sorta stupid. Sorry.
