Attribute point modifier confusion

Before anyone kicks off I have tried searching but coz it is down it makes it very difficult to find exactly what I need.

My question is this: If my base attribute is 6 and I use a rune of minor fire on my headgear which already has +1 fire it says i now have 8 fire (6 modified to 8) now if I have a fire wand that requires 8 fire magic will i get full effect out of it or do I have to wait until the base level is 8?

Thank you in advance.

The number you see on your attribute screen is the number the game uses. I'f you have a base of 6, one minor rune, and one hat thats 6 + 1 + 1 = 8. So yes you will get the full use of your staff/wand/focus.

thanks muchly. gonna go kick sum booty with my new wand

there is a collector outside Nolani with a 4-6 damage wand (3 flavors) for 3 char carvings.

it also has +5 energy unconditional.
