Runesword
| ||||
|
The Runesword (ルーンソード Runesword) is a sword introduced in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It is a magic sword which casts the Nosferatu spell, draining the enemy's HP to heal the wielder; it targets the enemy's Resistance stat and, in Path of Radiance, is fuelled by the wielder's magic. Like Nosferatu, the magic type which the Runesword counts as varies between appearances - it acts as dark magic in the Game Boy Advance trilogy, and as light magic in Path of Radiance.
