Thank you that answers my question. I did not realise that they only
worked in shields. The Arreat Summit gave me the impression that they
also worked in weapons. I'll hold on to them in the hope that a better
3 socketed shield turns up.

All rune words work only in certain types of items. Make sure of the
item type before you waste valuable runes (doesn't include Ral, Ort or
Tal ;^)

You will likely want to use a necro head with +skills as a shield, at
least until you get to Hell difficulty. If you can find one with good
+skills, resistances and two sockets for pdiamonds, it will likely be
better than a shield. If you find a good one with no sockets, you can
get Larzuk to punch one hole in it (or two if its identifier is grey
or white) for pdiamond.
