Revision as of 03:02, 7 June 2012

Tome (魔道書, Magic book) is a weapon type in the Fire Emblem series which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. Appearing only in five games - Ankoku Ryuu, Monshou no Nazo, Shadow Dragon, Shin Monshou no Nazo and Awakening - it is comprised of all offensive magic types present in the game, in contrast to how most other games split magic into multiple weapon types based on elemental affiliation. Under the unified tome type, any unit capable of wielding tomes can use all tomes of a certain rank equally, as opposed to only having access to a limited elemental set. After Monshou no Nazo, the split magic types were introduced and appeared in all games until Shadow Dragon, when the unified tome type was reimplemented and retained through to Kakusei.

In Awakening, there are some tomes which - while classified as tomes and maintained under the tome weapon rank - are considered dark magic and are locked exclusively to the Dark Mage and Sorcerer.
