Elwind (エルウインド Eru uindo) is a second-level Wind Magic tome in the Fire Emblem series, making its first appearance in Genealogy of the Holy War.

In Genealogy of the Holy War, this tome appears as one of few items that Lewyn starts out with. Due to the fact that this tome has a relatively low weapon level, it is thus usable by a good number of promoted magic-based classes. Much like other wind tomes available in the game, Elwind is rather lightweight, essentially splicing the possibility of its user suffering from Attack Speed deficiencies. Despite all the positive traits that this tome possesses, it is not easily passed on to the second generation, as it may only be used by Lewyn's children and Ced.

Non-Canon Appearances

Elwind is the Up Special for Robin in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and is their recovery move.

Robin fires a blade of wind below them, propelling themselves upward and can be fired twice in succession. It can also hit enemies below, dealing 5% damage, and has a meteor smash property. However, because it is a projectile, it can be reflected. It has a total of 9 usage before Robin is forced to discard the tome. They will have to wait 6 seconds before they equip a new Elwind tome. One of Robin's standard combos uses Elwind at the end if they mash their neutral attack during it. Robin will generate a small, condensed barrage of wind blades. Using this version of a standard combo will consume a durability point of Elwind.
