-	For each of the core seven attributes, there is a corresponding rune that buffs it. These are all very valuable, as the bonus granted is quite steep. Even for a stat like strength - where we typically aren't looking for many spec points at all - having high raw strength is still of great benefit to our potential damage output. Be mindful of the sometimes niche control skills relevant to each one. It's not necessarily wise to devote spec points towards the more obscure ones, but it is useful to at least max them at their natural 40 limit. If you're completely abandoning melee activity, you can make a case for bypassing [[Khyaros]], otherwise I would rank the entirety of the package as 'essentials.'	+	For each of the core seven attributes, there is a corresponding rune that buffs it.

	The potential comes in being able to combine the RW anti-magic rune ([[b’padhax]]) with [[Psychic Wild Talents]] attacks. The idea is you cripple both yourself and your opponent, while maintaining access to a unique attack you can spam, like Mindblaster or Firestarter. The shortcoming is that Ringwielders don’t have any non-lux avenue for getting any real access to psionic skills, so you’re attacks will have a definite ceiling.

	Similar to the attribute runes, there is a set of conditioning runes that targets each of the core melee attributes, directly buffing some of their associated skills (and a cursory stat bump, too). Unless you're completely neglecting the melee aspect, I would grade at least [[Uvmanar]] as an essential rune, moving into [[Uvmiange]] or [[Uvmodath]] depending on your commitment to weapons that earn more damage rating from [[killer instinct]] or [[massive blow]]. Commit to the vitality enhancing [[Uvmistis]] at your own discretion. For a bulkier race, like Fomor, it can be a little redundant. For a more average-to-small sized race it can save you quite a few precious development points you'd otherwise consider investing into vitality to get a few cursory 1 point specs to toughen up.
