I got this idea while thinking of the 14 levels of gems. To me, the fact that there are double digit number of gem LEVELS, is great!
this means that when we have no more use for those tiny, useless gems, we can put them to use by combining them to create a perfect gem (level 14). This may take dozens and dozens of tiny gems to do, and combine them all to create one powerful gem, but thats the beauty of it.
what about skill runes? now that things we socket can be removed via Artisans, having those low level, or even mid and high level runes sit around isn't as interesting.
We're probably going to have many skill runes to play with, but what about finding recipes of combining skill runes? or many 5 of the same skill rune combined gives you an enhanced effect.
Maybe a recipe of one "power rune" + "speed rune" + "etc" gives you a rune that isn't find'able by killing monsters.
Maybe combining 4 or 5 high level, rare runes would give you an awesome skill rune like zod (or whatever that rare rune was in d2)

There is a max of 5 skill runes for a reason. They can't make to many because they have to make an alternate spell for every spell that can have a rune in it. So no it wont happen.
Though the option, (if they exist) to combine 5 lesser runes of multi strike in to a weak rune of multi strike or something is fine.
wait a minute, they've announced that there's a max of 5? where was I?
and good point, if they're going through all the animations for each skill. (i'm still FOR combining a dozen or so of the same rune for a slightly enhanced effect

The highest level rune that can drop is level 5. the highest level rune you can craft is level 14. Jay said that it takes thousends of level 5 runes to make 1 level 14 rune.
So i gues it would take millions of level 1 runes to make a level 14.
Basically you would have to find thousends and thousends of runes before you can make a level 14 rune out of them.

There has actually been no confirmation on how many skill runes there will be
Actually there was, you even made an article about it.
There were 5 runes with new names (like obsidian) and they weren't planning on more. However there was no confirmation on how many levels there runes have.
Do you mean this article? I actually have not written an article stating any quantity of skill runes. Blizzard has not stated any specific amount either. They have given us the names of five of them but have not said that they are the only five. There are also qualities to each one but I would not rule out the possibility of them having more than five.

aww :(, i'm a fan of large amounts of stuff...
all 5 of them are going to be extremely common in my opinion, and its just a matter of choice?
So i gues it would take millions of level 1 runes to make a level 14.
Basically you would have to find thousends and thousends of runes before you can make a level 14 rune out of them.

If i have one gem and it occupies one box in my inventory, when i have more than 1, they stack. (its the only logical way)
so on the bottom of inventory it would say 700 _____ gems..or something..
