First game

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Eclipse (Japanese: イクリプス Eclipse) is a long-range dark tome exclusive to the three Game Boy Advance installments of the Fire Emblem series. Uniquely capable of lowering the target's HP to specific values (1 HP in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, half of their current HP in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) while also being the only long-range dark tome in all of its appearances, Eclipse is held back by its very low accuracy; the worst out of any weapon in their respective titles, and in the case of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade Eclipse, the worst of any non-broken weapon in the franchise.
