- added a cooldown wipe to Runes with a "shine" when the cooldown is over (cooldown currently displays in a square instead of adhering to the circular icon...working on that)

- added the ability for elements to boost the alpha value a bit. runes were way too dark previously
- removed all of the background code for runes since the cooldown wipe makes it extraneous
