The '''tome''' (Japanese: {{hl|魔道書|Madōsho}} ''magic book'') is a [[Magic (element)|magical]] [[weapon]] type in the {{FES}} which debuted in {{FE1}} and appears in six games—''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light'', {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, {{title|Awakening}}, and {{title|Fates}}. While other games in the series commonly split magic offensive magic into multiple types based on elemental affiliation, the tome weapon type contains all offensive spells in a variety of elemental affilitations under a single weapon type.

In {{FE14}}, the '''scroll''' (Japanese: {{hl|呪|Ju}} ''spell'') is the [[Hoshido|Hoshidan]] counterpart to the tome. They share the same weapon level as tomes, and can be used just as easily by tome-wielding Nohr units and classes. Compared to their Nohrian counterpart, scrolls are just as powerful yet less accurate, but each scroll gives its own stat boost to the user to compensate. The stat boosts themselves are not uniform among all scrolls unlike the other Hoshidan weapons.

==Overview==
==Overview==
Tomes are a magical weapon type, so their damage calculations use their wielder's [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]] and target their oppponent's [[resistance|resistance stat]], rather than [[strength]] and [[defense]]. While physical weapons are usually locked to either 1 or 2 [[range]] with uncommon exceptions, attacking at both 1 and 2 range is the standard range for tomes. In every appearance except ''Fates'', they are entirely separate from the [[weapon triangle]], but the ''Fates'' rearranging of the weapon triangle added tomes to it and had them behave the same way as [[sword]]s, giving them an advantage over [[axe]]s/[[club]]s and [[bow]]s/[[yumi]] and a disadvantage to [[Lance (weapon)|lances]]/[[naginata]] and [[knife|daggers]]/[[shuriken]].

In {{title|Awakening}} and {{title|Fates}}, there are some tomes which—while classified as tomes and maintained under the tome [[weapon level]]—are considered [[Dark (magic)|dark magic]] and are locked exclusively to the [[Dark Mage]], [[Sorcerer]] and units which possess the [[Shadowgift]] skill.

In the worlds of the ''Fire Emblem'' series, tomes are the standard form taken by the offensive magic used by [[human]]s, with the only known exception being the [[scroll]]s of [[Hoshido]]. In [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]] at least, tomes are vessels which contain the powers of nature itself, and the use of tomes manipulates these energies to the magician's will. The people of Archanea were introduced to tomes by the [[Divine Dragon|divine dragon]] [[Gotoh]], who wished to share the secrets of magic with humans to further their prosperity, but humans started using tomes as tools of war instead.<ref>{{Cite|Magic relies on containing nature's energies in "tomes" and "staves", freely manipulating these energies to harness great power.
