Mine

Mine Icon of a Mine from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. A trap that damages units that step on it.

Type Item First game Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

The Mine (Japanese: フレイボム Frey Bomb) is an item introduced in and, in legitimate gameplay, exclusive to Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Its role is to act as a trap for enemies, being set on spaces on the map; once set, if any unit passes over the trapped space, the Mine will explode and deal damage to them, also ending their movement for this turn.

Trivia

• The Mine is the subject of a glitch in Fire Emblem. If a unit on the enemy side triggers the Mine, the player can soft-reset or turn off the system while the animation goes on. Upon returning to the game, the player should then be able to control the remaining enemy units for the rest of the turn (or soft-resetting/powering-down). Despite The Sacred Stones not making use of the Mine's assets, that game includes a variation of this glitch involving certain terrain behaviors.
• The mine exists as an unused item in Radiant Dawn, called the Frey Bomb (its Japanese name) in all editions of the game except Spanish. If hacked into the game, the Frey Bomb has no functionality programmed into it whatsoever. In the English version, its description consists of a dummy text string shared by almost all unused items: "IF THIS APPEARS IT'S A BUG. REPORT IT."
