Changes: Nosferatu

Revision as of 14:15, 1 February 2016

Not to be confused with the spell known as Nosferatu in the Japanese versions of the GBA games

“Powerful magic that drains enemy HP. For women.”
—In-game description, Shin Monshō no Nazo

Nosferatu (リザイア Rizaia, lit. Resire; also known as Rizziah in the fan translations) is both a Light and Dark Magic spell in the Fire Emblem Series. Originally introduced as Black Magic in Fire Emblem Gaiden, it appears as a Dark spell in Binding Blade, Rekka no Ken, The Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Fates; and as a Light spell in Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn.

This tome is suitably named “Nosferatu” for its vampiric effect of absorbing HP from an enemy unit. It is especially unique in Gaiden, as it is the only weapon (apart from the Falchion) that can damage Duma after his HP has been depleted to 52.

In Mystery of the Emblem and its remake, this spell may only be cast by female magic users.

In The Sacred Stones, the Nosferatu tome is not available for purchase in any stores on the World Map, essentially meaning that only a few obtainable copies of the tome exist in any one given gameplay. Knoll joins the player's army with the tome as a starting item, and there is at least one available in a certain chest residing within the Tower of Valni. Furthermore, the shop at Narube River also offers this tome for sale when a battle takes place there, other than skirmishes in Creature Campaign.
