Right now, this rune feels VERY underwhelming, to say the least... They could as well leave the "on the next cast" part and make it just "restore 8% missing mana/energy every 60s"

IMO this should be the rune for mana hungry champions who throw out a lot of spells or have high-cost sustained abilities, such as Ryze, Cassiopeia, Swain, Anivia or Zoe. All of them go pretty much always for Sorcery as their primary path (Arguably Zoe can go Domination), and they don't really benefit much from Ultimate Hat (except Cassio).

So, I would say this rune should look like this:

[ Every 60s, on next mana/energy expenditure, the cost is refunded and 8% missing mana / energy restored. When it's on cooldown, every mana / energy expenditure reduces it (2s on spellcast / 1s on sustained cost). ]

It would at least give the player some degree of playing around this, more than just "oh, here's a free spell and a bit of mana every minute".
