First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Fortify (Japanese: リザーブ Reserve) is a high-level healing staff which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is available in every game of the Fire Emblem series, including in Gaiden where it served as a white magic spell. It is almost unique in its ability to heal a very large number of units at once with a single cast: while the amout of HP it restores is small-to-moderate and comparable to the basic Heal, it restores this amount to every allied unit within the staff's range, which in some games encompasses the entire battlefield. While its unique and potent abilities make it a valuable tool, it is held back by being rare and having very low durability.
