Soulblade (Japanese: 魔法剣 Magic sword) is a combat art which debuted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is learned only by Lysithea, Marianne, Anna, and Constance; the first by having her realize her budding talent in swords, and the rest simply by raising their skill level in it. Soulblade turns the chosen sword into a magic weapon, allowing the weapon to deal damage based on the target's Resistance stat instead of their Defense.

It reappears in Engage as the class skill of the Melusine. It makes it so that, when its user attacks with a sword, rather than using either the target's defense or resistance, it instead uses the average of the target's defense and resistance.
