Rite of Souls

Rite of Souls (Japanese: 魂の秘儀 Ritual of souls) is a weapon skill in the colorless tome category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of Arval. Rite of Souls reduces the user's special skill cooldown count; reduces the special skill cooldown charge of enemies within a square around the user; and when its user initiates combat or is near any allies, it boosts its user's stats, boosts their damage based on their resistance, and denies the foe a follow-up strike.
