Keep in mind that runes come in 5 rarities. Below are the details:
Common – White(0) => Contains just 1 stat (occasionally an innate stat)
Magic – Green(3) => Contains 2 stats
Rare – Blue(6) => Contains 3 stats
Hero – Purple(9) => Contains 4 stats
Legendary – Orange(12) => Contains 5 Stats
When you power up your runes, it gains bonus stats at levels 3/6/9/12, up to a max of 15. At level 15, the main stat increases by 20%. Keep in mind that level 0 runes can be dropped as a Magic/Rare/Hero/Legendary. That means it will already have bonus stats at level 0. If you manage to get your hands on them, it will upgrade a random bonus stat or give you a new bonus stat if there is room for one.
