Tome of Arms is an encyclopedia of weaponry which Charlotte Aulin can use as a mean of melee-based attacks. Its knowledge has been scattered between four tomes, the last of which is a secret lost volume, banned for its destructive secrets. With each attack, diverse weaponry comes out of their pages to deal damage to enemies. This behavior is very similar to how the Spellbook enemy from Symphony of the Night attacks.
Tomes
Tome of Arms 1
Found very early in the game, at the Entrance (under the main hallway). A single sword comes out of the book with each attack to deal Slash damage.
Tome of Arms 2
Found in the Great Stairway, near the bottom-right area (under the stairs) of the upper large room. Three weapons come out from the book with each attack (two battle axes and a sword between them), dealing Slash damage and covering Charlotte's overall frontal area, allowing her to attack enemies more efficiently in certain situations than with Jonathan's weaponry.
Tome of Arms 3
Found in Burnt Paradise. The player must start by exploring the right side of the level to obtain it sooner while making their way to the top. Its animation is similar to that of the Tome of Arms 2, with three weapons coming out of the book to deal Slash damage (two spiked maces and a polearm between them).
Tome of Arms X
The Tome of Arms X is a reward from one of Wind's quests: "The Lost Page". To acquire it, the player must find two torn pages (Tome of Arms p1 and Tome of Arms p2) somewhere in the Nest of Evil. A single sword comes out from the book's pages with each attack, dealing Holy instead of Slash damage (like the other three tomes). Since most enemies are weak to this element, it is the most powerful tome in the game. However, in some situations the Tome of Arms 3 may be a better choice as it has a wider area of attack and may even have the possibility to deal multiple hits with each attack (e.g.: in the battle against True Dracula, Charlotte can fend off Dracula's closing claws much better with the Tome of Arms 3 than with the Tome of Arms X).
