Rexcalibur
| ||||
|
Rexcalibur (Japanese: レクスカリバー Rexcalibur) is a powerful wind tome which made its first legitimate appearance in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, although it is also present in an unused state in the preceding game, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. In Radiant Dawn, it is a regalia weapon and the wind counterpart to the Rexflame and Rexbolt tomes, and is obtained by Ike's party during Part 4. In Awakening, it is downgraded to become an ordinary spell that acts instead as a wind counterpart to Thoron and Bolganone, a role previously filled by Tornado; this continues in Heroes but in Engage, Excalibur fills this role instead.
In the Tellius games, Rexcalibur is depicted as a blizzard which summons an immense burst of ice around the spell's target. Awakening instead portrays it as a relatively ordinary tornado.

Trivia
- In its unused state in Path of Radiance, Rexcalibur is largely complete and completely functional. If one modifies their game to gain access to it, it is in an almost complete and functional state and can be used by anyone with an S rank in wind magic; however, the map spell animation for it is incomplete.[1]

Language | Name | Definition, etymology, and notes |
English |
Rexcalibur |
From the Latin rex, "king", used by the Tellius duology as a prefix for the strongest tome of a magic type, + the "calibur" part of Excalibur, sometimes used as a name component for wind spells throughout the Fire Emblem series. |
Japanese |
レクスカリバー |
Romanized as Rexcalibur in its internal file name in Radiant Dawn. In Path of Radiance, its file name was "FIMBULVETR", a wind-based anima spell from earlier games. |
Spanish |
Rexcalibur |
-- |
French |
Fimbulvetr |
From the Fimbulvetr (Old Norse: "great winter"), the three unyielding winters preceding Ragnarökr in Norse mythology. It was likely changed to this because of the spell's internal file name in Path of Radiance. In the French version of Heroes, Rexcalibur's name is the same as that of the Fimbulvetr tome. |
