Prevent runes from revealing their caster?

XBox - Help

I've started a stealth character with runes. To my dismay, the enemies seem to be running towards my hiding spot when a rune triggers, even if I'm undetected.

It appears to be the default behavior:

[When a rune explodes, enemies will re-target as though you had just cast the spell from your current location.](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Rune_(effect\))

Is there a mod for Special Edition on XB1 that prevents runes from giving away my location?

I’ve never figured out how to do this. There’s some kind of detection event I can’t find.

I have quiet casting. They're detecting the player when the rune is activated, not when it's initially cast.

I had this issue as well. As a work around I used Ghostwalk from Apocalypse spell pack. Ghostwalk gives you invis and teleports you to starting location after your first action. So I started Ghostwalk in another room, cast rune and teleported back to previous room.

They detect the player when the rune is triggered, not when it's initially placed.

Yes, but in my experience the added distance from Ghostwalk makes the enemies not find you and usually give up the chase.

I'm not sure if it was in apocalypse or in perkus maximum but there were touch spells that worked better for a stealth mage imo

"Knowing your enemy is half the battle" comes to mind, also: "location, location, location!"
