Stormbind is a channelling spell that places runes on the targeted ground as the skill is channelled. These runes hinder enemies standing on it. The gem grants a sub-skill, Rune Blast, which improves runes placed by Stormbind as it is channelled, and releasing the channel detonates the rune and surrounding runes to deal lightning damage.

Stormbind[ | ]
Area of effect - Multiple runes can hit a single target.[1] A fully improved rune has a base explosion radius of 36.[1]
Using multiple copies of the same stormbind gem will work, because runeblast and stormbind interact with each other even when used from different gems. 1 gem can have support gems that benefit stormbind. The other gem can have support gems that benefit runeblast.
Rune Blast[ | ]
Runes will always have the same area of effect, but the Rune Blast explosion size will increase by improving the runes and increasing area of effect.[2]
Raising the mana cost increases the number of connected runes improved per cast. Each rune can only be improved once per cast.[3]
There is a maximum of 9 runes improved per cast, because each rune is only connected to 8 runes.[2]
