Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Elfire (Japanese: エルファイアー Elfire) is a recurring fire tome which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is present in all games except Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fates. It is an advanced version of the basic Fire tome, and in games which feature the three separate schools of anima magic, it acts as the second "stage" of the hierarchy of fire magic as a counterpart to Elthunder and Elwind, and is itself surpassed by Arcfire and Bolganone. In games featuring anima magic or tomes in general only as a generalized weapon rank, it is ranked as a medium-level tome.
