I take it that the spell attached for Spell Rune must be one the cleric has memorized and the whole process is one standard action, and the memorized spell is used up in the process? Can you attach a spell from a scroll as part of the standard action?
I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I didn't see it in a brief search.
Blast Rune (Sp): As a standard action, you can create a
blast rune in any adjacent square. Any creature entering
this square takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 point for every
two cleric levels you possess. This rune deals either acid,
cold, electricity, or fire damage, decided when you create
the rune. The rune is invisible and lasts a number of
rounds equal to your cleric level or until discharged. You
cannot create a blast rune in a square occupied by another
creature. This rune counts as a 1st-level spell for the
purposes of dispelling. It can be discovered with a DC 26
Perception skill check and disarmed with a DC 26 Disable
Device skill check. You can use this ability a number of
times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Spell Rune (Sp): At 8th level, you can attach another spell
that you cast to one of your blast runes, causing that spell
to affect the creature that triggers the rune, in addition to
the damage. This spell must be of at least one level lower
than the highest-level cleric spell you can cast and it must
target one or more creatures. Regardless of the number
of targets the spell can normally affect, it only affects the
creature that triggers the rune.
Thanks in advance!

Can you attach a spell from a scroll as part of the standard action, or at all?
Simply based upon the reading I am pretty sure that is not meant to be used with scrolls and such (wands, staves etc)... although I don't think that there would be much of a balance issue allowing it to work with scrolls.

I get that impression too, but the description isn't specific. I'm just wondering if it has come up at anyone else's table.
Is this domain fairly rare, or am I over thinking this ability?
I'm also curious about this: Do the spells attached to a rune with Spell Rune require a separate action to cast or are they attached as part of the standard action to create a rune?
