SoM Magic

How does the magic work in Secret of Mana?
In Secret of Mana, the Hero can't use magic. :-( However, the Girl and the Sprite can.The Sprite's spells are all targeted at enemies, and are attack spells. The Girl's spells, with the exception of four, are all targeted at allies. These spells can be used to cure allies, enhance their attack, or increase their defense. The Sprite and the Girl use the same elementals that you find, except for Shade and Lumina. The Girl uses Lumina, and the Sprite uses the magic of Shade. The elementals are found in the floowing order:

  1. Undine
  2. Gnome
  3. Sylphid
  4. Salamando
  5. Shade
  6. Lumina
  7. Luna
  8. Dryad

Sprite's Magic

The Sprite has attack magic. His spells attack enemies either directly, or affect their status. He has no spells that affect allies.

Note: The spells in the 3rd column are "Weapon Spells" When you cast them on a party member, then that party member's weapon will do the effect that I have listed. (Ex. "Stone Saber--Petrifies enemies." This means that when a character has a Stone Saber spell in effect on themselves, their regular attacks will petrify the enemies.)
