Sword of Runes shouldn't have Ward Summoned effect until October 1999 (+other items)
There are a few different mage summoned items here that need to be tweaked actually:

The patch that improved them is this one on October 13, 1999: Quote:
I propose the following changes based on this evidence: * Sword of Runes to lose Ward Summoned until October 1999 * Staff of Runes to have 2 charges of Gaze (instead of 5) until October 1999 * Dagger of Symbols to lose its 5 svDisease/svMagic/svPoison until October 1999 * Spear of Warding to lose 5svFire/5svCold until October 1999 | ||||

Without more specific patch notes it's really hard to say which patch it was. There is also:

You are speculating. One of the comments was from BEFORE the September patch and one was around the same day (patch notes were often posted the day before the patch)
There is no ACTUAL evidence as to what summoned item changes happened in September and which happened in October. What is clear from patch notes is that SOME changes occured on each of those patches, so your recommendations are incomplete at best but also possibly simply wrong. | ||

Only Lore items were adjusted in the September patch.
Sword of Runes is not LORE: https://wiki.project1999.com/Summoned:_Sword_of_Runes Dagger of Symbols is not LORE: https://wiki.project1999.com/Summone...ger_of_Symbols Spear of Warding is not LORE: https://wiki.project1999.com/Summoned:_Spear_of_Warding The Staff of Runes I will admit ambiguity about. It could be either of September/October. | ||

I found a post describing the Staff of Runes as MAGIC but not LORE, back in June 1999.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....Y/1N673Es5Gs8J So we can say that it changed in the September 13 1999 update. It can be set to that era instead. | ||

Not that I think it needs more evidence but it never hurts.
Here's a full EQ items listing with stats from August 28th 1999 that includes Sword of Runes and other items mentioned above, without their added saves and without the Ward Summoned proc. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....s/8t_rCThq7sIJ (Be sure to click "show trimmed content" at the bottom of the post) This list may be useful to others for item research btw. | ||

The Swords of Runes used to proc cancel magic before they change. Quite useful for a solo mage as the pet would debuff your mob so by all means revert this. It was obviously changed to be group friendly.

Are you getting Sword of Runes confused with Staff of Runes? I can't find any evidence that Sword of Runes ever procced anything before October 1999. None of those links I posted has a proc listed for it, including the long list, which includes procs on other weapons.
Direct quote from the long list. Sword of Runes has no effect, and three items down we see effect listed for EBS. There are others. Quote:
