Runestone

Magically charged and made on a base of Silverite metal, a runestone is a powerful item that grants supernatural effects to mundane items without having to go through the more extensive process of Runesmithing  that belongs to Runecraft into the item itself to create a magical item out of a mundane one. This still leaves the items that has been imbued with the runestone as a mundane item that can be broken as easily as before. Runestones are not able to be removed from the items that they have been placed in due to the nature of how they are merged together; instead they can only be overridden by those of other types. Furthermore, it is known that runestones of the same type and level do not stack and instead would only be a waste of resources. It is possible for multiple to be imbued on to the same items, but there is always a chance that this can fail and either erase both runestones or completely destroys all parts. Below is a non-comprehensive of all the possible runestones that can be created or have known to exist at one point in history. More may be "rediscovered" as time continues to march on.
