Runes that have no bearing such as intensity rune on a morale character the power does not go up. Many people were confused about it including myself. I just know no criticals are done.

If anyone is given a critical saint bonus on shayd or smoulder since the patch please post it.
Nope. Mages never had any critical- And yes, good point. I guess is just a bug regarding why the power increases.
