Again, we're being too literal. The entire second paragraph on pg 59 under Runic Magic spells it out about as clearly as you can. From the Dwarf's perspective, Runic items = magic items. Magic items = runic items.

Looking at the fluff for the magic weapons reinforces this even further:

The Hammer of Karak Drazh
"...It was struck with runes so that..."

Red Axe of Karak Eight Peaks
"...Struck with unique runes of vengeance..."

Magnificent Armor of Borek Beetlebrow
"...Who knows what runes were struck upon that gromril suit..."

etc.

Seems pretty clear to me that runic = magic = runic.
