Trivia

• This skill shares the same Japanese name as the player phase attack theme from Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, which the skill’s effect of providing a bonus on the player phase also seems to reference. The skill which serves as a thematic parallel/opposite to this one, Patience, also shares its name with the enemy phase attack theme of New Mystery of the Emblem.
