A blistering rune is an item in the online game Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) that can be used to enchant weapons. These runes provide a specific attribute or effect to the weapon that it is applied to, enhancing its overall power and usefulness in combat. The blistering rune specifically adds a fire damage effect to the weapon. This means that every time the weapon strikes an enemy, it will also deal additional fire damage on top of its regular damage. This can be particularly effective against enemies that are weak to fire or have low fire resistance. To apply the blistering rune to a weapon, players must first locate or acquire the rune itself.
To apply the blistering rune to a weapon, players must first locate or acquire the rune itself. Runes can be found throughout the game world or obtained as rewards from completing quests and other activities. Once a blistering rune is obtained, players can use it at an enchanting station to enchant their weapon.
Flashback: Nicole Kidman Was Rumored to Be Playing the White Witch in 2004
In early 2004, as fans eagerly awaited details about the upcoming movie adaptation of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, a bombshell story landed. It claimed Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge!, The Hours) had been cast as The White Witch. The Oscar-winner had reportedly been seen in New Zealand, where filming would take place.
The false report is now believed to be the result of a comical misunderstanding. Watch this video for more details:
Two months later, it was finally announced that Tilda Swinton had been cast in the role. Meanwhile, Kidman would go to play an antagonist in The Golden Compass (2007).

Glenwit says:When I heard how the rumor started….Andrew Adamson location scouting in NZ and someone spotted him and thought he was Nicole Kidman….I almost spit coffee everywhere.
That is just hilarious.
Historically, I have preferred relatively unknown actors for roles like this, but sometimes a big name can truly knock a performance out of the park in an unexpected way (Heath Ledger as the Joker comes to mind here). It’s definitely a double edged sword, but I think it depends on the role.
I hope whomever is cast in the new Narnia adaptations are good actors, regardless of their notoriety. Or love from fans.
I’d be interested if the lead kid from ‘jojo rabbit’ was cast as 12-year-old Digory Kirk, even though the actor is gaining fame monthly – and really, NO kid could play him perfectly, and the kid actors from ‘jojo rabbit’ were phenomenal.
But I would love the actress cast as The Witch to knock our socks off, someone we fans would not pick but is scarily perfect for Jadis.
Wait, that’s seriously how it got started? That’s hilarious!! XDXD
I’d heard about stories about this rumor when I first joined Narniaweb.
Nicole Kidman probably would have been adequate in the role. I think at the time, though, most of the fans wanted an actress who wasn’t as recognizable, and that’s what we ultimately got with Tilda Swinton. Yes, Barbara Kellerman was too loud, and I think Swinton was too timid. What approach would Kidman have taken had the rumor been true? Interesting to think about.
Keeper of Lantern Waste says:I’d like Cate Blanchette as Jadis. Probably too expensive but dang I think she’d be awesome! Incidentally, did you enjoy Jojo Rabbit? I wanted to see it but was too busy
JFG II says:a. It would be awsome if she played Jadis, since she’s already played a [good] witch and an [evil] emperess before, both to glorious effect. b. 7.5/10 I was both very entertained and very moved by it, but the tone was all over the place: Sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it’s deadly serious. Sometimes it’s muddled and murky in intent. (I’m not related to anybody or anything involved in WWII Europe, so it’s not to personal to me. ) Not everyone will like it. Some people will hate / dismiss it as being too nice towards nazis, even though the movie exists to be a smack-down of nazi-ideology. It’s good. Maybe even great.
Tumnus says:I agree, in 2005 I knew very little about Tilda Swinton while I’ve seen Nicole Kidman in films since the 80’s. She certainly could have pulled off the role, but for a Narnia film I want to be absorbed in the story to the greatest extent possible and a star would distract from that some.
Thanks Paul. Someone should notify the poor chaps and chapettes at NarniaWeb that there’s nothing to freak out about.
Enchanting a weapon with a blistering rune requires players to have an appropriate level in the enchanting skill tree. This skill tree can be leveled up by successfully enchanting items and deconstructing enchanted items. As players progress through the enchanting skill tree, they will unlock the ability to use more powerful and rare runes, including the blistering rune. In addition to adding fire damage, blistering runes can also have additional effects depending on the quality and level of the rune. Higher quality runes can add additional stats or effects, such as increasing a weapon's critical strike chance or reducing an enemy's fire resistance. These additional effects can further enhance a weapon's overall effectiveness in combat. Overall, blistering runes in ESO are a valuable tool for players looking to increase their weapon's power and versatility. By adding fire damage and potentially other effects, these runes can give players a significant advantage in battle against a variety of enemies..
