Harbor Rune

Template:Sideicon When a Rune Fencer uses one of his or her job abilities under the category "Rune Enchantment", then they gain a special status effect corresponding to that rune and are said to be harboring the rune. A Rune Fencer may harbor up to three runes at a time, and they may freely choose which runes to harbor up to this limit.

Each of the eight runes is associated with one of the eight elements. A Rune Fencer with harbored runes deals elemental damage of the rune's element on their melee auto-attack rounds as an added effect, and has enhanced resistance against attacks whose element that the harbored runes are strong against.

Icon	Name	Element	Strong vs.
	Ignis	Fire	Ice
	Gelus	Ice	Wind
	Flabra	Wind	Earth
	Tellus	Earth	Lightning
	Sulpor	Lightning	Water
	Unda	Water	Fire
	Lux	Light	Dark
	Tenebrae	Dark	Light

Harbored runes also determine the effect of Rune Fencer's Ward abilities, Valiance and Pflug, and are expended for effect by the Effusion abilities Lunge and Gambit.
