How this is computed

The rune laddergame tablecubemain.txt rune rowsbuild 3.3.93847
Each rune but El is cubed from the rune below it: three of it from El up to Pul, two from Pul to Zod, and from Amn up one gem as well (chipped, flawed, standard or flawless by the rung). A rune has one recipe, so the cheapest way to a target spends your own runes from the target downwards and cubes a rune only when you have none of it left.
Value in El runesderivedcubemain.txt rune rowsbuild 3.3.93847
A rune's value in El is what it costs to cube from El alone: the product of the quantities down the ladder (Eld 3, Tir 9 … Ber 3^20 × 2^9). Gems are counted apart.
What a stash makesgame tablerunes.txt Rune1–6, itype1–6, etype1–3build 3.3.93847
A runeword is made when every rune of its sequence is in the stash, repeats counted. A word one or two runes short shows the missing runes, and whether the rest of the stash (its own runes set aside) can cube them.
