Weapon • Magic Gladiator
Rune Blade
Rune Blade is weapon 1 of 19 for the Magic Gladiator, and it drops in Lorencia, Noria.
Lore
The Rune Blade is the Magic Gladiator's first sword: a plain blade with runes scratched along its edge, made by the scribe-smiths of Lorencia. The runes are not decoration. They hold a little clean mana, which flares when the sword meets an enemy.
It is with this blade that the apprentice learns to strike and cast at the same time. It usually turns up among the hordes of Lorencia's fields and the forests of Noria, still close to the protection of the wall.
Where Rune Blade drops
The same item drops on Hard and Hardcore as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses). On Hardcore, very rarely, it comes as Godlike (+80%) by letter.

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.
