I thought the rune spells were melee damage only.

They're not supposed to be melee damage only, is the point. In fact, the entire rune/skin line (nec, mage, wiz, enc) always absorbed direct spell damage on live.

Lastly, Enchanters possess the unique Rune line of spells, which creates a magical protective buffer against all forms of damage until it has been worn down.

Also, I guess I should have searched, but this has been reported previously:

Working as intended I suppose. I remember specifically using rune on raids on live to block DD spells, etc.

Even to this day on Al'Kabor, which goes up to PoP and does not have any significant changes to the Rune line of spells, Rune does not absorb magic damage.

The spellshield line of spells does. Perhaps that is what you are remembering?

Once upon a time Rune blocked spell damage. Going to assume this will be fixed when Kunark is released!

No, both spells blocked direct damage spells, but spellshield only blocked spells. I don't have a manastone here but does that damage get absorbed by rune/skin? It should.

I have a character on Al'kabor, but he isn't an enc or class with the skin line so I can't really test this easily there.
