Runemaster Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)

A savant who tamed the power of raw arcane, weaving its chaos with the art of runes. The Runemaster infuses magic into offensive and protective wards that devastate those who trespass them, ensnaring his foes, raising walls at his whim.

The Runemaster is one of three Mastery classes that can be chosen from the base class of Mage. The Runemaster uses magical runes to harness the elemental powers of Fire, Frost, and Lightning. These runes can be utilized in dozens of different ways, allowing the player to truly create their own unique builds, not only through skill selection, but also through their rotation. Differing orders of elemental casts can completely change the spells used for Runemaster, making this Mastery one of the most unique in the entire genre.

Upon unlocking the Runemaster Mastery, you'll gain access to your Mastery-specific skill,  Runic Invocation. While not specific to the Void Knight, the Mastery Tree comes with four skills that are unlocked by placing a certain amount of points into the Tree itself. All three Sentinel Masteries can use these as long as they hit the requirements to do so, however both  Runebolt and  Glyph of Dominion are both out of reach due to their location in the Passive Tree for both Sorcerer and Spellblade.

Description	Passive: Whenever you directly use an elemental skill, gain one Rune of the corresponding element. For channelled skills you gain one Rune per second instead. Active: Consume all of your active Runes to cast a unique Invocation based on the combination and order of Runes consumed. The last Rune in the sequence determines the damage type. Casting a fire skill grants a Rah Rune, casting a lightning skill grants a Gon Rune, casting a cold skill grants a Heo Rune.
