==Etymology==
Abel's Lance first appeared as Kain's ultimate weapon in Final Fantasy IV Advance, received in his Lunar Trial when he resists the temptation to kill his friend Cecil.
Thus, Abel's Lance derives its name from the same mythos that Kain himself does. Kain's Lance is another Final Fantasy weapon named for Kain in a similar fashion.
