UPDATE: I know what is wrong now. It is a translation error.

The Polish (original) description does not say it increases damage by 100%, but simply that it "doubles" the weapons damage.

However in all other versions it says that damage is increased by 60%. But after you apply the runestone to your weapon of choice the description of your weapon in the inventory and of the used upgrade below the witcher medalion will both say that damage in increased by 100%.

And it IS 100% as I checked the damage on Devourers and used Argentia for comparison. Normally it took a 4 sequence Strong Style combo to take a Devourer out. With Argentia it aso takes a 4 sequence combo, only after the 3rd sequence it usually has about 10% of health left. However with Perun it only takes a 3 sequence combo to take the Devourer out. And before you ask, YES I used both on my Silver Sword.

Which obviously means that "Perun" DOES indeed increases damage by more than 60% like "Argentia" does.

It seems that this error occured because the person that was translating the game to english simply used "copy/paste" to translate the descriptions of all 3 runestones, but simply did not notice that the description for Perun's damage increase was written in words instead of a percentage number.

This is very important because it means that "Perun" is in fact the most powerful temporary weapon upgrade in the game, as it doubles the damage against ANY enemy you encounter and you can use it in BOTH Steel and Silver Swords.
