Geomancer and Rune Fencer

Rune Fencer

• Runes
  Runes are the embodiments of eight different powers unique to rune fencers that they inscribe upon themselves, a process also called "harboring."
  

　

• Harboring Runes
  Rune fencers may harbor runes by using the ability Rune Enchantment, which can be learned at level five. The number of runes that rune fencers may harbor increases in the following manner:

  Level	Number Of Runes Able To Be Harbored
  5	1
  35	2
  65	3

　

• Rune Enchantment
  Using the ability Rune Enchantment and selecting an element produces the following effects:
  • Increased resistance to one element
    • The effect's potency varies depending upon the rune fencer's level.
    • The element to which the rune fencer will be more resistant will be the one descendant to the one chosen, except for light and darkness, in which case the rune fencer will gain increased resistance to the opposing element.
    
    　
  • Additional damage
    The additional damage, which will occur for normal attacks, will have the following characteristics:
    • It will be dependent upon weapon attributes.
    • It will increase depending on the number of runes of the same element harbored.
    • The element of the damage added will be determined as follows:
      • One rune harbored: The element chosen
      • Multiple runes of differing elements harbored: The last element chosen
      • Multiple runes of multiple elements harbored: The element with the most runes ascribed to it

　

• Rune Application
  Rune fencers can unleash either offensive or defensive energies depending on the type of abilities they decide to employ, which are in turn affected by the runes they harbor using Rune Enchantment.
  • Effusions
    These abilities add elemental damage to attacks and increase the rune fencer's offensive prowess, but harbored runes must be expended to activate them.
    
    
  • Wards
    These abilities reduce elemental damage, increase the rune fencer's defensive prowess, and do not require the expenditure of harbored runes to activate.
