If you find a 'Superior' piece of armor with +Enhanced Defense, a Superior Weapon with +Enhanced Damage or a Helm/Weapon that has +Skill bonuses for a certain class, all of these will remain on the final Rune Word that is created.

Most caster builds use an Insight Rune Word from the moment you first can make one at level 27 all the way up until max level. This Rune Word can be equipped on an Act 2 Mercenary (since they can use Polearms) and you'll benefit from the Meditation Aura despite the Rune Word actually being equipped onto your Mercenary.
