Need better documentation of abilities, mechanics, etc

Let's say you're playing a magic wielding character and you are shopping for runes at the magic vendor. How do you know what the difference is between "Pulse of Health" and "Aura of Healing"?

The item descriptions don't tell you what the spells actually do. Nor is there an official manual or wiki that contains this info. Therefore your only option is to just buy the item and test it out. But because each character only has one persistent save, you can't reload if you don't like it. So obviously this leads to wasted money and frustration.

Make sense, or am I missing something?

lol, I had exact the same question on seeing Puls and Aura of Healing. But buying this stuff and experimenting with it, to find out what it does, didn’t cause any frustration. It was pretty much the opposite - fun by figuring out yourself.
