This rune could only borne by those who wielded spears and similar weapons in combat. The Unicorn Rune would allow its bearer to excuse a powerful attack, penetrating a column of enemies.

However, the bearer would be left wide open following the attack, with zero defense. This meant that if the enemy survived the assault, a fatal counterattack could be on the horizon.
