Found a pinwheel staff that has two rune abilities. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to show details on the two runes except to go to the enchanter and look at the runes for extraction.

If there’s a way in the UI to see this without having to go to town, that would be great.

best way I found is simply actually trying the weapon directly. Even if you don’t have the attributes, you can still try the skills to see what it does. But I agree, something should be done so we can check them out directly from the menu: a little preview window would be nice, and some detail on the actual damage/effect they do. Even at the enchantress, when you start to have a few in stock it’s hard to remember which one does what, especially when some of them have the same name but different effects (at least in the french version)

Rune preview videos will be added at some point.

It would be nice to be able to inspect runes on weapons in more detail. The same applies when interacting with Eleanor to insert or remove them. Information such as focus cost and a brief description would be very helpful.

```
• Runes cannot be viewed in sufficient detail in the inventory 
• Missing: 
    ◦ focus costs 
    ◦ descriptions 

```

More transparency would also be helpful when interacting with NPCs like Eleanor.
