Lore
The Rune Bastard Sword is the mature heir of the Rune Blade. Longer and heavier, it can be wielded with one hand or two, and its runes cover the entire blade from hilt to tip. The scribe-smiths spent years engraving it without breaking the spell.
It is the sword of a Magic Gladiator who has mastered the craft. It drops from the bosses of Icarus and Aida, and it also appears among the hordes of the Kanturu Ruins, Kanturu Remains and Karutan.

Forging and refining
At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
