Since we now know that runecrafting altars draw power from the lower planes, do the altars “pierce through the abyss” the same way Mah’s ritual marker does to drain the Mahjarrat? Crazy how V had the power to do this at tier 5. So the soul altar draws power from the plane Tarddiad is in huh...

I think you misunderstood the way in which V created the altars - he just created access points to the significant energy influxes that were already there at the locations where he set up the altars.
Also, Tarddiad isn't the only soul plane, so I doubt the soul altar draws exclusively from the elf world. It's just the only soul plane that we know of. Mods pls notice me

We haven't locked the killerwatt plane in stone. It's a bit of an odd one as there isn't a clear runic representation of "lightning" as a theme. In an earlier draft I aligned it to air. Combination-rune-wise, I'd see lightning as fire+water or air+fire (electricity definitely seems like it has a basis in fire energy), but steam and smoke don't really scream lightning. I'd probably go with aligning the killerwatt plane to either chaos, astral or death. There may also be runic elements that we have yet to discover, or that we cannot tap into through runecrafting as its rune altar has been lost or destroyed.

Lightning could very well be one of the "undiscovered" runic elements. Actually, it's even possible that lightning runes have been discovered, but we can't just access them withoit 120 Runecrafting. After all, the differences in levels required to craft two subsequent types of runes always increase by 1 from Mind to Soul runes, and if this pattern is continued all the way to 120 Runecrafting, there would still be room for two more runes, one unlocked at level 104, and the other unlocked at level 117. Lightning runes could be one of the two runes unlocked at those levels. Then again, there are already runes we can craft which can be crafted outside of the standard scale like astral and Armadyl runes, so maybe there is room for new runes even outside of 120 Runecrafting?

Hmm... Does coming from a different type of world (Dark/Elemental/Catalytic) have differing effects on the race? Like do Icyene have an affinity for Astral and Naragi for Nature? Do Aviansie have an Air and a Fire affinity?

So many questions about what this means.

The scale of the Elder Gods' creation is mind-numbingly huge, far more than I originally thought at least. You have a myriad of different planes of reality, all with potentially different physical laws. There are countless worlds, stars, and everything in-between.

With such a huge and ancient universe Gielinor appears almost insignificant in comparison. It's just a tiny blip compared to the size of the universe. Yet apparently it can generate enough power to sustain the creation of another universe after this one. The Elder Gods can apparently create something which gives them more power than they used in creating it. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, except in Runescape it seems, where the power to create thousands of stars seems to come from nothing.

TL;DR: Why is Conservation of Energy not a thing in this universe? -
I have noticed your kind does tend to blindly stumble forward towards danger simply because it exists. What is your word for that?

Or maybe Gielinor is simply refining power from somewhere like the Void? Maybe Anima is just refined Void energy?

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it has something to do with the Chakra analogy (which I'm slowly starting to understand). Do the Elder Gods start with a more elemental form of energy which is then purified into pure anima/soul with a perfect world? -
