Need clarity on which runes work for which weapons

I found out the hard way that I cannot put a wand rune in a staff. From there on out I was paranoid… can I put a sword rune in a mace? I found out I could put a hammer rune into a mace (I think that’s what it was)? I can I know, in advance, where a rune can go before I destroy my item. It’s not at all obvious.

You can put some “spell” runes in weapons - like light, heal, and so forth. But… other ones you can’t.

PS: I cannot create tags, I wanted to create a tag called ‘runes’ but the option wasn’t there.

It’s designated in the rune description with “slot this rune into” followed by the type of weapon it can go into. A lot of them just say “weapon” so I guess that just means any weapon, but others will say “staff,” “one-handed weapon,” etc.
