The positive effects of such runes do not stack with the effects of runes of the same attribute - the larger effect takes precedence.

Most runes come in three levels of potency: Minor, Major and Superior. You can easily tell a rune's potency by its appearance: a minor rune looks like a small scrap of parchment, a major rune is a large parchment square, and a superior rune is a large scroll. Once identified, the potency will be noted in the rune's name, for example, "Rune of Major Vigor."
