Heyo,

I would like to propose some simple solution that would let us to trade much quicker and safer.

Just add one custom change that every player will greatly benefit from, there will be only 1 person on whole server - Homer Simpson that will loose on this... (for greater good Homer!)

Proposals are 3, one purely cosmetical, second may affect gameplay, third will be purely cosmetical also.

1. Color of rune gently lightens with each use.

Pros:
- player can see if the rune has already been used or not;
- player has a clear preview of the moment when he will have to pay attention because of the end of rune
- happy players

Cons:
- code implementation
- homer wont be able to sell used runes so easily

2. The weight of the rune decreases with each use
(total weight of the rune remains exactly the same, it is reduced to 0 with each use by a certain fraction)

Pros:
- gameplay becomes more dynamic in a tiny way(you can loot f.e. 6 gold coins for each charge used :P )
- player can check backpack for defective runes with one click
- happy players

Cons:
- code implementation
- homer wont be able to sell used runes so easily
- change will cause minimal impact on gameplay
- happy players

3. Rune would have a charge written in the corner, just like arrows.

Pros:
- easy implementation
- happy players

cons:
- more modern look of runes/client
- homer wont be able to sell used runes so easily
