First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Swarm (Japanese:ウォームWorm), known asWorm inRadiant Dawn, is atome which was introduced inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. Originally just another ordinary magic tome, it was revised in its second appearance into one of the firstlong-range tomes (along withMeteor) to appear in the series. It retains its long-range tome status inShadow Dragon andNew Mystery of the Emblem.

It is again an ordinary tome inRadiant Dawn, here known as "Worm". It is the game's C-rankdark magic spell, and it is the weakest dark magic spell in the game.

The spell returns inThree Houses as a normal-ranged dark spell that reduces the foe's speed; in this game, it is known asSwarm Ζ (Japanese:ウォームΖWorm Ζ).
