—In-game description, Shadow Dragon and Shin Monshō
The Firestone is a Dragonstone that recurs across the Fire Emblem Series. Functioning as the most basic Dragonstone principally employed by units aligned to the Manakete class, the Firestone is infused with the compressed power of a Fire Dragon. When used, this stone allows a Manakete to assume the form of a Fire Dragon, granting them numerous statistical bonuses that enable them to engage in combat in the process.
In Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, the only playable Manakete who can harness the energy contained within the Firestone is Bantu. The Firestone has infinite durability in this appearance. In its subsequent remakes, this lock is lifted, permitting any Manakete to employ them for combat purposes.
In The Binding Blade, the Firestone is an enemy-only weapon, and cannot be obtained under ordinary circumstances. If the player succeeds in acquiring one through the method outlined below, then they will find that it can be used by Fae, although the animations involved are hilariously glitchy.
Notably, in almost every game that the Firestone appears in, it is treated as a weapon. The exception to this rule is Mystery of the Emblem, where the stone is instead regarded as an item.
