Fimbulvetr (Japanese: フィンブル Fimbul) is a potent ice-based anima magic tome appearing only in the three Game Boy Advance installments of the Fire Emblem series. In all three appearances, it is found in the possession of late-game enemy Sages, mostly female bosses.
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 North American manual of The Sacred Stones even listing ice as one of the elementals of anima magic.[1]

Trivia
- The French versions of Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and Awakening renamed the separate Rexcalibur spell "Fimbulvetr", effectively merging the two spells into a single consistently appearing spell in the French releases. The spell's internal file name in Path of Radiance also calls it "Fimbulvetr".
- This may also explain why some sources mistake Fimbulvetr as being a wind elemental, despite its tome having a distinct visual appearance from wind elementals in the GBA games.
