Hestia Blade

The Hestia Blade is a Long Sword weapon found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is obtained by winning it in the Lemurian Spring at Lemuria, most easily by hitting a bullseye in the center target. As a Long Sword, it can be used by Isaac, Felix, Garet, and Piers. The Hestia Blade increases the wielder's Attack by 145.

The Hestia Blade can unleash an effect called Crucible Fire, which converts all damage to Mars and can reduce an enemy's Attack by 25% (50% if it is triggered twice). Crucible Fire is simple visually; the caster attacks physically and a trio of fiery rings are emitted from the point of impact, but nothing else appears.

The Hestia Blade is actually quite a useful weapon, as for a long time after leaving Lemuria, it is the strongest weapon available to Felix and Piers. After the Phaeton's Blade is obtained, however, it loses it usefulness quickly as more powerful weapons take its place. It's last possible use (and generally best) is to give it to Garet and increase his already high Mars power with Djinn and additonal equipment to maximize the Crucible Fire's attacking potential.
