Basic Description
Edit
The Lost Age
Edit
Being a Long Sword-class weapon, the Fire Brand can be equipped on warrior-style Adepts, namely Felix, Piers, Isaac, and Garet. Its buy value is 23,400 coins and its sell value is 17,550.
The Fire Brand increases the wielder's base Attack rating by 176 points. The sword is a pure-element weapon because its physical attack is itself an attack whose resulting damage is either increased or decreased based on how the user's Mars power compares to the target's Mars resistance. Its Unleash effect is Purgatory, with the standard base activation rate of 35%, which is a physical attack with an additional 67 points of damage added, and then the resulting damage is either increased or decreased based on how the user's Mars power measures against the target's Mars resistance. In addition, the effect may inflict the Sleep status condition on the target. Purgatory is a spectacular visual effect resembling the user summoning a huge interwoven column of fire bursting from the ground beneath the target. The fire column then expands to cover most of the screen before contracting to the point of vanishing, leaving the enemy burnt.
Dark Dawn

In Dark Dawn, it is a rare drop item from Pyrodra in Burning Island Cave.

The word "purgatory" was derived from the Latin word "purgere" which means "to clean." In Roman Catholicism, it is the process of purification in which the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for heaven.
