There are two differing explanations given for Imhullu. The first is that [[Gotoh]] was the guardian of the tome, knowing its immense power could be used for evil. However, his pupil [[Gharnef]] took the book and vanished.<ref>{{cite|'''Marth:''' Is Imhullu so powerful a magic, then?<br> | <!--Are we sure Gotoh wasn't just guarding the knowledge of how to create Imhullu and the wording ended up confusing in Shadow Dragon?--> | ||
There are two differing explanations given for Imhullu, one given in {{title|Shadow Dragon}} and a differing one given in {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}.

'''Gotoh:''' Yes. The mage who wields it cannot be killed; cannot be so much as scratched. I was the magic's guardian once. Knowing its forbidden power could work terrible evils, so I kept it close. But Gharnef, one of my two pupils—Miloah being the other—took the forbidden tome and vanished. Now you are paying for my carelessness. Forgive me. I wish to make amends by teaching you the only way to undo Imhullu's power.|[[Marth]] and [[Gotoh]]|Shadow Dragon}}</ref> The other is that 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 [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]], to create Imhullu. In the process of creating Imhullu, Gharnef's heart was sealed in the Darksphere, corrupting him.<ref>{{Cite|Gharnef, along with Pontifex Miloah, were Lord Gotoh's best pupils.

In ''Prince of Aritia'', the first episode of {{FEOVA}}, a flashback shows Gharnef using 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. | In ''Prince of Aritia'', the first episode of {{FEOVA}}, a flashback shows Gharnef using Imhullu in battle against the [[Falchion]]-wielding King [[Cornelius]] of [[Altea]], and with it easily kills Cornelius by piercing him through the stomach.

* In [[Dark Pontifex|Chapter 23]] of ''Shadow Dragon'', the four fake Gharnefs scattered across the map all wield fake copies of Imhullu: outside of battle they display the same stats and description as the real Imhullu, but in battle they instead have the stats of [[Elfire]] and do not negate damage. Versions of this chapter in earlier games simply have the fake Gharnefs wield regular, undisguised tomes: [[Swarm]] in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', and Elfire in ''Mystery of the Emblem'' Book 1. | * In [[Dark Pontifex|Chapter 23]] of ''Shadow Dragon'', the four fake Gharnefs scattered across the map all wield fake copies of Imhullu: outside of battle they display the same stats and description as the real Imhullu, but in battle they instead have the stats of [[Elfire]] and do not negate damage.
