FF7 Rune armlet

Rune Armlet in Final Fantasy VII.

A mysterious bracelet that heightens MP. The ancient writing inscribed on its inner surface draw out its wearer's potential, awakening their hidden powers. Though there is a book which explains these inscriptions, simply copying them has little effect. Since a ritual is necessary in drawing out the true power of the words, very few of these precious items have been made.

Rune Armlet (ルーンの腕輪, Rūn no Udewa?, lit. Rune Bracelet), also known as Rune Bangle, Rune Ring, Magic Bracelet, and Rune Bracer, is a recurring armor and accessory in the Final Fantasy series. It is often a mid-ranked piece of equipment, granting resistance to Silence or boosting the user's max MP.

Etymology[]

Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. Historic anthropology regarding the Germanic and Norse peoples that used runes also note that the language was also highly used in magical practices related to these cultures, whether it be in divination, enchantment, and incantation.
