First game

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Fimbulvetr (Japanese: フィンブル Fimbul) is a potent ice-based anima magic tome first appearing in the three Game Boy Advance instalments of the Fire Emblem series. In all three of these appearances, it is found in the possession of late-game enemy Sages, mostly female bosses. After these games, the tome would see a prolonged absence from the series until resurfacing in Fates, after which it would go on to appear in Three Houses as well. In Fates, the tome appears in a far weaker fashion, serving as the game's standard C-rank tome. In Three Houses, it is classified as Black magic, and is once again a high-powered spell, in addition to having a greatly enhanced critical hit rate.

Fimbulvetr is the sole tome in the anima magic category that does not fall within the three traditional elements of fire, thunder, and wind. An ice elemental, to which Fimbulvetr belongs to, is allowed under the GBA interpretation of anima magic, with the manuals of the three GBA games even listing ice as one of the elements of anima magic.[1]

Trivia

  • The French versions of Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Awakening, and Heroes call the separate Rexcalibur spell "Fimbulvetr". As a result, in the French version of Heroes, there are two tomes in the same game both named "Fimbulvetr".
    • The spell's internal file name in Path of Radiance also calls Rexcalibur "Fimbulvetr".

  1. "Anima is made up of fire, thunder, wind, and ice." The Sacred Stones's American manual, page 39. (A similar note appears on page 35 of the Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade manual, but mentions a non-existent rain element instead of an ice one. This is a mistranslation; the Japanese says , which means ice. The manual of The Binding Blade also lists ice as one of the types of anima magic.)
