Black Sword Rune

History
The Black Sword Rune is one half of the Rune of Beginning. This rune represents the offensive power to attack from the sword of creation. This rune has many outstanding destructive spells.

Like its counterpart, the Bright Shield Rune, this rune grants its user immunity from illness, has its own will, but it does not grant immortality as it is not a True Rune, merely an aspect of one.

However, the Black Sword does possess tremendous power, which is par with most True Runes. Jowy even was able to use its strength to keep the nearly unstoppable bloodthirsty Incarnation of the True Beast Rune at bay on several different occasions for many months.

Although, using this great power excessively comes at the cost of the owner's life energy. Such was the case of Jowy stopping the Beast Rune. It left him so exhausted that it would have killed him had Riou not used his own rune to heal Jowy.

The current owner of this rune is Jowy Atreides. The most notable previous owner was Han Cunningham.
