|p=''>>I assume this was a failed Arcana check?''

Attempted to prepare a spell (a [[Clear Vision]] at 10%, or 10 mana) that was more powerful than what the runestone could still tolerate (the equivalent of 6 min preps, or 6 mana).

"Complex runestones," which that demonstrated, deals with usage based on the raw power you're pumping through the rune. A full prep is more damaging to the runestone than a minimum prep. "Simple runestones," which don't allow you to meddle with the power, use the traditional, much more user-friendly concept of discrete uses.

''>>Is this now junk, or will there be ways to reclaim it or use it in future enchantments?''

An expended runestone doesn't disapper, though currently no planned use for them. Reclaiming it for spare parts isn't a bad idea.
