Dire Thunder
- For the skill from Fire Emblem Engage, see Dire Thunder (skill).
Dire Thunder (Japanese: ダイムサンダ Dime Thunder) is an unusual type of thunder magic appearing first in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, and returning as a blue tome-type offensive skill in Heroes. It is the personal weapon of the Friege army's Mage Knight sibling duo, Olwen and Reinhardt.

Dire Thunder is one of few tomes in the series to act as a brave weapon, allowing consecutive strikes; it was the only such tome prior to Awakening.

Trivia
- Dire Thunder's icon is the same as Elthunder's sprite from Genealogy of the Holy War, aside from Thracia 776's different item palette (which affects all icons).
- Dire Thunder's spell animation in Thracia 776 reuses Elthunder's spell animation from Genealogy of the Holy War.
