Magic in the game is offensively cast as ranged single-tile or area of effect spells that can either buff, debuff or damage one or many targets. These spells must be learned by finding spell books known as 'Grimoires' throughout the game world, teaching them and assigning them to units.
The Magic Management menu can be accessed via the Unit Details screen which can be found through the Party Management or Party Deployment screens.
Learning Magic
Upon selecting ‘Learn’, a panel opens up that shows the available Grimoires. Units can only learns spells that are the same element as their Elemental Affinities.
Filters are available that divide all the magic as per the Elemental Affinities.
Assigning Magic
After learning magic spells, they must be assigned to the unit so that they can actually use it in battle. Since every unit has a maximum of 5 slots available, the player must choose which element or elements a unit will specialize in.
It also encourages the player to have multiple units who can wield magic.
The details of each Magic Spell is available in a panel that appears on hovering over the buttons.
