Thani is a Light magic tome from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The light magic equivalent of the Rapier blade, the Thani tome possesses added bonuses against cavalry and armored units. Furthermore, this tome may only be wielded by Micaiah.

Unlike other weapons that are effective against cavalry and armored units and are starting weapons made specially for particular characters, the Thani tome may be left behind in Chapter 1-2. This will essentially increase the difficulty of the game, as armored units in Part 1 are especially difficult to defeat.

When cast, Thani condenses ambient light into the form of a large glowing sphere of radiant energies above the target, which proceeds to descend down towards the opponent, erupting in a large spire of light.

Etymology

Thani is Arabic for "2nd".

The Japanese pronunciation of "Thani" may be based on sei which, depending on the kanji, could mean "holy" or "celestial" (聖) or "star" (星). With the third katakana (ni) meaning "two", the name may mean "the second holiness", "the second celestial", or "the second star".
