Imhullu (Japanese: マフー Mafu) is a sinister regalia tome introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It is the signature weapon of Gharnef, the Dark Pontifex and ally to Medeus, and its evil power renders him invincible to almost any attack.
History
Imhullu was first created by Gharnef, the future Dark Pontifex, during his tutelage under the White Sage Gotoh. Out of envy and wrath over Gotoh picking rival student Miloah as the successor of Khadein and the Aura tome, Gharnef used the Darksphere, one of the gems adorning the Shield of Seals, to create Imhullu. In the process of creating Imhullu, Gharnef's heart was sealed in the Darksphere, corrupting him.[1]
Much as the effects of the Darksphere itself can only be countered by the Lightsphere, so too does Imhullu have a weakness to Starlight, a tome forged from the Lightsphere. One who wields Starlight can use its power to pierce the dark protection Imhullu bestows upon its wielder. To this end, Gotoh had Marth gather the components to forge Starlight for use against Gharnef himself.

Other appearances
Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime)
In a flashback in the first episode, Prince of Aritia, Gharnef wields Imhullu in battle against the Falchion-wielding King Cornelius of Altea, and with it easily kills Cornelius by piercing him through the stomach. The spell is depicted as a large number of glowing dark tendrils, each ending in what looks like a screaming human face, emerging from the Imhullu spellbook, which bombard the target before exploding.
Trivia
- In Chapter 23 of Shadow Dragon, the four clones of Gharnef scattered across the map all wield fake copies of Imhullu: outside of battle they display the same stats and description as Imhullu, but in battle they instead have the stats of Elfire and do not possess the attack-negating effect of the actual Imhullu.
