Iago's Tome
From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Iago's Tome (Japanese: マクベスの惑書 Makubex's Confusing Book) is a tome that debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. Named for the Nohrian advisor Iago, Iago's Tome appears statistically unimpressive for a high-level weapon, especially one that takes its toll on its wielder; it does, however, drop its enemy's defenses upon a successful strike.
