Fimbulvetr
| ||||
|
Fimbulvetr (Japanese: フィンブル Fimbul) is a potent ice-based anima magic tome appearing in the three Game Boy Advance installments of the Fire Emblem series. In all three of these appearances, it is found in the possession of late-game enemy Sages, mostly female bosses. Fimbulvetr later resurfaced as an uncategorized tome in Fates in a far weaker fashion, serving as the game's standard C-rank tome. It would return even later as a black magic spell in Three Houses, where its power would be returned to that of its previous appearances, along with a high critical rate.
Fimbulvetr is the sole tome in the anima magic category that does not fall within the three traditional elements of fire, thunder, and wind. An ice elemental, to which Fimbulvetr belongs to, is allowed under the GBA interpretation of anima magic, with the North American manual of The Sacred Stones even listing ice as one of the elementals of anima magic.[1]

Trivia
- The French versions of Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Awakening, and Heroes call the separate Rexcalibur spell "Fimbulvetr". As a result, in the French version of Heroes, there are two tomes in the same game both named "Fimbulvetr".
- The spell's internal file name in Path of Radiance also calls Rexcalibur "Fimbulvetr".

This is a mistranslation; the Japanese says 氷, which means ice.)
