Light Magic (光魔法 Hikari Mahō) is one of the three core classification of Magic throughout the Fire Emblem franchise.
Overview[]
Light magic is typically associated with holy or divine entities within the Fire Emblem series and thus is a common magic wielded by members of churches and monasteries in each game. The Monk class is the most common wielder of this magic though promotions of this class as well as the promotions of the Cleric, Priest, and Troubadour classes also have specializations with it whenever available.
While the weakest tome in terms of raw damage, sometimes lower than Wind magic, Light has some of the highest weapon accuracy for tomes within the series. In terms of the Trinity of Magic, Light magic has an innate advantage over Dark magic but also has a disadvantage against Anima magic. Its superiority over Dark magic is a notable feature of Light magic as several light spells illuminate darkness, sometimes removing Fog of War, and many light spells such as Seraphim deal bonus damages to monsters, namely undead and demonic creatures.
Light tomes have played critical roles twice in the central narrative of a game. Starlight dispels Imhullu's warding effect and the Book of Naga nullifies Loptous's ability to halve damage. Several important story characters utilize Light magic as one of their primary offensive weapons such as Celica, Julia, and Micaiah.
