The Indigo effect is called [[Splinters]], and it seems to be the highest damage of the lot. This runestone effect causes multiple darts to be fired in rapid succession, creating a sort of "machine gun" effect. The number of darts increases by one with each level of runestone, moving up to 8 at the highest level.

This rune effect fires three darts in rapid succession, each of which can hit the same target, or different targets. The damage is cut to 60% per dart, from 100% at the base skill, but since all three can hit the target, the total damage is considerably higher.  
  
All darts are fired at the same point, so this attack is best used when multiple monsters are in a row, as the darts will hit a second or third target if early hits kill the front line enemy.

The instant an enemy takes enough damage to die additional darts will pass through it, so even though they are very close together and very fast, if the first or second dart kills, the next dart or two will pass on, potentially striking another target.
