Probably the easiest way to put all this together is to use Cheat Engine or something similar to search for the Rune's name or description. You have to use the character encoding I linked to find it, and search as an array of bytes. The text isn't ASCII/Unicode, so regular text searches won't help. Once you locate the Rune in memory, it's a simple matter of poking the value for Hungry Friend into its spell list. Now, where you'll run into trouble is that the game only loads what it needs as far as item descriptions, spells, etc. If you poke that value in, and the game had no need to load Hungry Friend before you did it, it'll crash the minute you try to use or look at the spell. The easiest way around this is to go into party change menu with Leona. The game will reload all that information when you try to swap characters. The other alternative is to make a code you can use at the beginning of the game, but the Runes are also loaded dynamically, if memory serves. There is likely no guarantee that a simple code would work, as the Bright Shield Rune might end up in different locations in memory, depending on your party.

The safest way to do it is to patch your disc or ISO image, but that would make the change permanent, at least as long as you're using that particular image.

Hmm, sweet.

So could these codes be used to edit the base damage of the rune spells as well?

I'm asking because I would like to balance out the magic runes as well as possible, such that Fire/Rage, Resurrection, and Bright Shield offensive spells become more useful while Lightning/Thunder spells become less broken.

I mean:

1. What do you use your Fire Mages in the final dungeon for if you can just Auto-Attack your way through?
2. The Luca Blight Battle sometimes becomes ridiculously easy because you can just slap a Lightning Rune on everyone with a L3 spell slot and kill him with a barrage of Bolt of Wrath spells.
3. I hate how Resurrection is so weak in this game, especially because they made Riou to have a high affinity for Resurrection (B in Resurrection, C in everything else).

Many thanks.
