First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Fortify (リザーブ Reserve) is a high-level healing staff which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It heals a small-to-moderate amount of HP to all allies within a fairly large range of the user at the same time; the amount of HP healed and the range of healing varies from game to game, with the HP restored tending toward roughly the level of a basic Heal staff, and the range sometimes encompassing the entire battlefield.
