Re: Magic
Every character has 10 or so spells by the end of the game. Only four can be set for use in battle. You can access the magic list to switch spells by touching the brown orb(usually near the blue orb-save point)
Some spells are passive, providing effects like counter rate up, defense up, magic defense up, speed up, chance of starting battle berserked, etc.
Physical attack spells like sacrifice a bit of hp for 2x attack, 2.5x attack, or unbalance, 1.4x damage but act last, 1x dmg+medium probability of poison, etc.
Magic attack spells can be categorized into 3 main groups. Electric(dmg+paralyze single target), ice(all enemies), fire(single target). Paralyze means a 30% chance of not being able to act for the turn, lasts 5 turns. I listed electric, fire, and ice up there, but there aren't really any elemental attributes in this game.
Heal spells, single and group.
Revivify.
In general, characters use many of the same spells. MP is rarely a problem, I've never run out of mp.

Re: Magic

No elemental weaknesses, no combo magic.

Re: Magic
No runes, only Marks of the Stars.
It's kinda funny actually, not even the people from the Magic Empire of Janam seem to actually know any magic till you give them their marks.

Re: Magic
Is there a background story about the magic in Tierkreis? I mean, these things:
are exactly the effects which some runes did offer, so why abandon runes?Physical attack spells like sacrifice a bit of hp for 2x attack, 2.5x attack, or unbalance, 1.4x damage but act last, 1x dmg+medium probability of poison, etc.

Same here. The runes peeked the most interest from me.CelesDestiny wrote:Runes are one of my favorite topics in the suiko universe I trace the different runes, classes and lines throughout the whole series ever since the first game.
It's sad they don't exist in this game.
But before I go all "OMGWTFIHATETHISGAME" I'll get it and try it.

Re: Magic
but i think there magic which are similar to runes
example the shrike rune, i saw selen used it and falcon rune which crodeclic owns ... i doubt the name is Shrike and Falcon but the animation looks alike
