A recent fix was introduced to cause non-standard damage-type tomes (such as slash/blunt/etc.) to default to the Fire element when using Elemental Rune. This currently applies only to Engraved Runes; Runes that are Triggered use the non-standard element and do not gain an increase to damage from elemental attack. 

This was tested against various mobs in singleplayer combat. The weapon used was a Cleaving Clarinet enchanted with Mutation to become a 'Tome' weapon that deals 'Blunt' damage.
