“Superior magic used to attack with flames.”
—In-game description, Shadow Dragon

Bolganone (ボルガノン Boruganon, translated Volganon in some Japanese versions and Volcanon in some fan translations) is a recurring Fire magic tome in the Fire Emblem Series. When cast, this spell will forcefully open up a fissure into the surface of the earth, and trigger an eruption to occur, incinerating the selected enemy target. While this tome is not as versatile as the C-rank Meteor tome, it is much more accurate and durable.

In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, the Bolganone tome is highly effective against Beast tribe Laguz.
