mal rune
A Mal rune is a mid tier rune that can be socketed into armor and weapons in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction and Diablo 2 Resurrected. A Mal rune provides Magic Damage Reduced by 7 when inserted in shields or off-hands, body armor and headgear, and Prevent Monster Heal in weapons.
You can cube 2 Um runes and a topaz together to get a Mal rune. You can also obtain a Mal rune from hell countess. You can get a Mal rune from the hell hellforge quest.
A Mal rune requires level 49 to use. When you socket an item with a Mal rune, you increase the level requirement to level 49, unless it was already higher.
