Hidden Blizzard Rune Words
These two runewords are relatively unknown in the original game because they are exclusive to single-player and were added in 1.11 but were disabled and then finally enabled in single-player in 1.12 without mention by Blizzard. They remain disabled online on Battle.net.
Path of Diablo's servers does not have them disabled and can therefore be created.
