Rune Maiden (Trials of Mana)

The Rune Maiden is a Character class in Trials of Mana.

Trials of Mana
The Rune Maiden is Riesz's class-2 on her dark path. She can either be promoted at level 38 to the Dragon Master with a Dragoon Band or the Fenrir Knight with a Gleipnir. Regardless of the player's Class 3 evolution, becoming a Rune Maiden will select the Brynhildr as Riesz's Class 4 evolution.

2D Version
''Though to many, tales of warriors and great battles stir in mind heroics and glory, justice and the triumph of good against evil, and the majestic allure of attaining power for the sake of benevolence, so exists a coexisting truth that there is no light without its darkness; the costs that must have been made for that gain, that the horrors of war are worse than can ever be imagined, and to more grim and starker truths, that conflict is but a reoccuring cycle that will never end, that there are many battles that end without reward nor conclusion, that peace brings idle waste, complacent decadence, and vices worse than what can be committed in war, and that evil can too achieve victory. Of shock and abhorrence for the everyday world, such forsaken truths are but just as fair in the eyes of the Rune Maiden. A shadowy and enigmatic order of warriors who have dedicated themselves to a long forgotten god of war, Rune Maidens tread a way of mysticism forged through battle and violence, a warpath fraught with unknown danger and neverending carnage that baptizes them in bloodshed and destruction to understand the darker truths of the world, to attain lofty elucidation of the realm of fighting and the true nature of conflict. So as their vows adhere them to be fated to live to their last breath fighting, Rune Maidens also take a vow to purity and abstinence to become the sacred heralds of their god; a vow alleged to temper their souls and harden their hearts with determination and motivation strong enough to bolster the instinct to survive and the fighting spirit to brutalize opposition and attain victory, and bestows upon them mystical powers to waste away foes to drive forward opposition to their annihilation. But as they walk this path of darkness, their way becomes more narrow and sharper than any edge as temptation runs high, the truths they will face may be more awful and bleak than they can realize to accept, wounds on their soul can become more fatal than those of the flesh, and that journey's end will most likely not give way to salvation.''

3D Version
''A debuffing support class. Rune Maidens can weaken an enemy and make it easier for the party to win.''
