Sagittae (アロー Arō, lit. Arrow in the Japanese version) is a Black Magic spell from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, as well as Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As its name suggests, it shoots waves of arrows at a selected enemy target. Although Sagittae is one of the stronger spells, it suffers from fairly low accuracy.

Etymology

Sagitta is the Latin noun for "arrow", and Sagittae is likely in the nominative plural, meaning "arrows". The name "Sagittae" also evokes the image of Sagittarius, the ninth astrological sign in the Greeco-Roman Zodiac, who is mostly depicted as a centaur wielding a bow and arrow; his symbol also uses the bow and arrow for imagery.
