Lightning
| ||||
|
- For the black magic spell known as Lightning in the Fire Emblem Gaiden fan translation, see Thunder (tome).
Lightning (Japanese: ライトニング Lightning), known as Light (Japanese: ライト Light) in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, is a light magic tome which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. In all of its appearances as a light magic tome, it is the the most basic light tome, and the light equivalent to Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Flux. Statistically, it functions similarly to the Bronze/Iron Swords, possessing low might and weight relative to higher hit compared to its counterpart tomes.
In Fates, Lightning functions differently as a thunder-themed, uncategorized tome. It is a brave weapon, allowing its user to strike twice as many times as they normally would when they initiate an attack, but in exchange it has very low might and inflicts temporary stat reductions on its user after its use.
