BATTLE SYSTEM
Skies of Arcadia's battle system is really great and simple.Like any other RPG you have regular attacks and magic.But unlike other RPGs you also have the SPIRIT POINT SYSTEM (SP) all special and magic attacks require some amout of SP.Magic Spells cost at least 1MP, but the stronger the attack is the more it will cost.Your party has one spirit bar, and you all will
share that pool of SP.Depending on your level, you will start a
battle with a set number of SP,and you have a max value you can achieve.Each
round of battle, you will add the value of SP you started with to the value of
SP you currently possess. In your choice of actions, you have one called
"Focus" which causes that character to "build up" SP. Try to raise SP as
soon as possible.
Special Moves
Special moves are very important.These moves are yet another choice for each turn
of battle.They require only SP to be performed. Usually these are the most
damaging moves in the game.Each character has a set number of Special moves they can learn.To learn Special moves you need Moonberries.Moonberries are found in
treasure chests, on the Pinta Quest, and dropped from battles.
Moonstones
There are different moonstones that I think are based off the elements(Red=Fire,Yellow=Lightning,ect...). During battles, you can change the color of your
weapon to the color of any moonstone you possess.Enemy's that you will face will be a certain color.Check below to see which one to use.When battles end, you will gain points
towards magic spells based on whatever moonstone power you have on your weapon
at that time. If you want to learn Purple spells, have a Purple moonstone
effect on your weapon. When more than one moonstone is in effect, everyone
gets *some* points for each color, but will gain the most points for whatever
color individually equipped.
