Here's an idea: Magical batteries.

Basically, reusable cartridges made out of rune essence and a few other materials that would keep the essence from collapsing and disintegrating after use. These batteries provide magic as a source of power, and can be used in everything from appliances to weapons.

Also, perhaps instead of an infrastructure based on electricity as we have in our society, the one here can be based on magic. Magic powers lights, appliances, entire cities. You name it. The magical energy itself would be extracted from huge machines that have been built on top of runecrafting altars and then processed to the purest possible form so it could be used for just about....anything.
