Runecrafting
Runecrafting makes the runes every spell burns, and at 61 it lets you convert surplus runes back to essence.

- Runes To Rune Essence (61)
"Gather rune essence and craft runes to level this skill." It opens through the Rune Mysteries quest, the fourth in the main line, which is early enough that there is no excuse for neglecting it.
Runecrafting is the skill everything else quietly depends on, because every spell costs runes and there is nowhere to buy them. A player who skips it finds the utility spells they unlocked are theoretical.
Runes To Rune Essence at level 61 (5 Water, 5 Astral) runs the conversion backwards, turning runes you do not need into essence you do. Given how heavily the spell list leans on Astral specifically, that is the fix for a stockpile of Fire runes you will never cast.
