That and Charmed is a relatively commonly resisted status effect. I'm not saying it's worthless by any means, but it is one of the more limited rune features by comparison.



The same criticisms might be levelled at the Fighter. Some might say the Fighter is the one with less dimensions and worse theming (dare I say, myself included). Potato Potato.
How does stone look any more like a spell than any of the others? If anything it's evidence that spells get easy access to conditions where everything else is slatted for damage of movement.
