Has there been much said about how Runepriest spell casting graphics might be unique or not?
For example, will some of the Runepriest spells be Runic in nature -- for example seeing magical runes floating around the target/caster.
Or will runepriest spell casting be more generic and mainstream -- ie flashes of lights, bolts of energy, cascading waves of healing energy?

It's hard to say. I know I saw some great spell graphics in a few videos, and I think that one of them looked like a rune.
I am pretty sure the graphics for each class will be unique but we don't know for sure if it's going to be runes or more of a basic stuff. I hope for runes.

Shouldn't be too hard for Mythic to add the name of the spell rotating around the caster of it during the cast time, written in.. say.. the ancient Nordish alphabet?
And it'd give ppl a reason to brush up on their ancient-nordish-alphabet skills, I mean, the ability to read the name of the spell your opponent is about to cast would be a fairly nice advantage (to balance this you could turn it so that it's going from the last letter to the first, all turned towards the caster - by the time you figure it out, the helpfulness of it will be limited).

There is a Dwarf language.

I am assured its the manipulation of runes. The rune sorta appears, gathers energy then either heals, buffs or just explodes NUKING the enemy. Either way, im happy!

Runes would be the most likely one, seeing how they want the classes to be diffrent from each other (and it would be alot cooler :))

Runes isn't even just likely, but it is already the case. In the various videos that we have, I have seen different Runes glowing above the staff of the Runepriest.
