Path of Radiance

Flare (Japanese: 陽光 Sunlight) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. In it and its sequel, Radiant Dawn, it appears as an offensive skill, and like all offensive skills in these games, it is a mastery skill. It's learned by the Sage and Bishop classes in the former game, and the Arch Sage, Empress, and Summoner classes in the latter. In both games it decreases the enemy's resistance stat, and in Radiant Dawn it also drains the enemy's hit points to heal the user.

Flare returns in Fire Emblem Engage as the Engage skill of Emblem Soren. It is not longer an offensive skill, acting instead as a constant malus on the opponent's resistance stat during combat. It also keeps the HP draining effect introduced in Radiant Dawn. As an Engage skill, it can have additional effects depending on the unit type of the user.
