SPECIAL ABILITIES

When Gau uses his “Rage" ability, he will fight as if he were the selected

type of monster. He can add new types of monsters to his repertoire via

combat techniques of the monsters you were fighting when he

leaped, as well as those you were fighting when he returned.

Learning Magic

Acquisition Rates

Characters can learn magic spells from the magicite they equip.

Each spell that can be learned from a piece of magicite has an acquisition rate. For example, Kirin

teaches Cure at a rate of x5. This means that a character's progress toward learning Cure will advance

by 5% for each magic acquisition point earned while equipping this magicite.

Acquisition rates for the same spell vary between magicite.

Magic Acquisition Points

If your characters have magicite equipped, they will earn magic

acquisition points (AP) at the end of every battle. These points are

multiplied by a spell's acquisition rate and added to the character's

progress toward learning that spell.

Mastering Spells

Once a character's progress in

learning a spell reaches 100%,

the character masters the spell

and gains the ability to use it

in battle or through the main

menu.

Kirin teaches Cure at a rate of x5.

Shiva teaches Cure at a rate of x3.

Other Ways to Learn Magic

Equipping certain armor or relics allows characters to learn spells in the

same way as magicite. The spell acquisition rates can be found by viewing

the item details (see p. 23).

Unequipping magicite does not cause characters to lose progress toward learning spells.
