“'Villager: You're a kind soul to fight for strangers so. Here, you must take this.
Owain: By the ghost of Ike! I've found it at last! The fated mate to my sword hand! ...The divine blade, Mystletainn!
Villager: Er, I'm afraid this is a blade of extremely common make, sir. I was using it to dig a well, but I figured you might--
Owain: Come, Mystletainn! Destiny beckons!
Villager: I also used it to cut small vegetables before it got dull. ...Er, hello?”
—Owain receiving Missiletainn from a Villager in Paralogue 5

The Missiletainn (ミステルトィン Misuterutin, Mysteltinn in the Japanese version) is a personal Sword that hails from Fire Emblem: Awakening, and is bound to Owain.

Missiletainn plays a fairly significant role in Paralogue 5, where Owain, while on a quest to locate the legendary Mystletainn, is drawn to the Sage's Hamlet after hearing tell of the blade having surfaced in said location. The blade in question turns out to be but a cheap replica of the actual weapon and although its status as a common blade is made known to Owain by the Sage who gives it to him, he insists on referring to it as if it were the Mystletainn. The dubious authenticity of Missiletainn is further compounded by the fact that the name of the weapon itself is a homophone of Mystletainn, alongside its in-game description referring to it as an "apocryphal brand".

Trivia

• Missiletainn may be a reference to Excalipoor, a recurring joke weapon from the Final Fantasy series. Like Excalipoor, Missiletainn is a misspelled version of a powerful legendary weapon (Mystletainn/Excalibur), and is mistaken for the real thing by an enthusiastic weapon collector (Owain/Gilgamesh).
• Missiletainn is the only character-specific weapon in Awakening to provide a bonus to a specific stat.
