Fire magic (Japanese: 炎 flame) is a weapon category and class of magic in the Fire Emblem series, first appearing in Genealogy of the Holy War as one of its five magic types. It is one of the three nature-based magics which comprise the school of anima magic.
The main distinction of fire magic is how the stats of the average fire tome are primarily oriented toward being relatively average in weight, hit, or power compared to the other schools of magic. In this respect, it can be viewed as a magical counterpart to lances, which tend to be oriented similarly. In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, fire magic also deals bonus damage against beast tribe laguz such as Tigers. In accordance with the Trinity of Magic, fire magic has an advantage over wind and light magic, but is at a disadvantage against thunder and dark magic.
Fire tomes can be found in some form in every Fire Emblem game, but fire magic as a distinct, separate weapon category only appears in four games: Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn. In all other games, fire magic is rolled into broader magic categories: black magic in Gaiden, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Three Houses, anima magic in the Game Boy Advance games, and generic tomes in the Archanea games, Awakening, and Fates.
