You apply a specialized rune to your weapon or gloves that resembles markings of a rust monster. Whenever you make an attack with this weapon, opposing metals that are unprotected must make a reflex save (equal to the DC of your runes) or be dissolved. Dissolving the objects in question makes them fall to pieces and rust, becoming useless and worthless. You can only destroy up to ten cubic feet of metal in any round at a time.
Does not stack with the effects of any other similar abilities or enchantments. In the presence of acid based enchantments on the same objects, this rune is rendered useless until their disappearance. Wooden, stone, and other nonmetallic objects are unaffected.
