Morale runes don't add power because it doesn't increase the damage of any of a heroes attacks, nor does it decrease the damage taken. Instead, it only changes the timing of your first morale attack. We could attach an arbitrary value to morale runes, but it would be a little difficult, since anything over 100 morale has almost no benefit (being resistant to will breaker is the only advantage). Instead, we're focusing on more important things.

As others have noted, +skill damage does not benefit mages. It is still beneficial to raise the level of the spirit because that will add magic damage, but there's no benefit in sapphires. Bottom line is, if it doesn't say +magic damage, then it doesn't help mages.
thank you dawn
