Time for a couple Character Profiles too!

Ghestar is the first Imperial you properly meet and the first you kill, rather unceremoniously. He tries to kill you with a castle after you beat him, though it doesn't take. So amazingly minor, especially because his fight and last ditch attempt to murder you are instantly upstaged by...

Flammie, last of the white dragons! He's related to the purplish dragons flying around the seasons forest, but he's a slightly different breed. He's also a baby, despite being the same size as them, and not yet ready to fly. He is adorable and he's being raised by King Truffles. That is all. Flammie is all grown up now and acts as the party's airship, allowing them to fly to and from practically any outdoor location. He is still adorable.

And Finally, Have a new episode! In which we get lost, get found, get basic cable, and get pointed in the right direction.

Episode 39 - Hoist by my own Picard

Episode 40 - Californian Accident

In today's outing, we hit another boss, finally get some more magic- just for the sprite- meet a wacky looking fellow, and hit up Watts for more weapon upgrades. So, all in all, a busy day.

Episode 41 - Her pet Abomination Horse

 

[Ryushikaze]

We got a new Spirit, so it's time for a Magic rundown!

Upon beating the shit out of the largest unicellular organism you ever did see, we freed the Shadow spirit

Shade

and more recently [timg]https://lpix.org/2865236/Shade_(Children_of_Mana).png[/timg]

In Game Sprite

Shade is the spirit of Darkness, and for some reason, only the Sprite can use his magic. That means there's no Dark Saber. Oh no..... Instead, you get a debuff and two attack spells.


Sprite's spells

Dark Force: 2MP to cast, deals dark elemental magic..

Dispel Magic: 4 MP to cast, gets rid of enemy buffs. At level six and higher can dispel Wall.

Evil Gate: 8 MP to cast, extreme dark elemental damage. Seems to do more damage the more HP the enemy has.

Shade isn't very interesting spells wise, but Dispel is useful right til the end of the game and worth levelling ASAP for the added utility.

Also, here's another Person of Interest has appeared, so let's get a Character Profile in-

Jehk

This goofy looking fellow is the assistant to the Sage Johk. Had we visited him before hitting up the shadow temple, he'd have pointed us there. Now he's gonna point us towards the light and moon magics, then onto more plot proper.
