If the player puts certain combinations of Runes in the correct order into an item with exactly that number of sockets and of the correct item type, the item's name will change into a unique name, displayed in gold, and the item will acquire extra powers, depending on the rune word that was used. The benefits of using a Rune Word is
that you can make the Rune Word magical bonuses apply to any type of item
allowed with the proper number of sockets. You could, for example, use an Elite
Socketed sword or an Exceptional Socketed sword, and you can also pick which
type of sword is used. Uniques, in comparison, use the same item type such as
short sword, and are always the same quality (Normal/Exceptional/Elite). You can
continue to find better Socketed weapons or armor and, with the proper Runes,
continue to have this Rune Word bonus applied to better and better Socketed
items as you find them.
