IP-Skills

As in most RPGs, each character has a HP (Hit Points) and MP (Magic Points) bar. But in battle you'll notice a third bar - the IP (Infuriating Points) bar. It grows every time you're hit. When a character has accumulated enough IP, he can execute special skills - the strongest attacks in the game as well as useful healing and support magic.

You can learn these skills from Ancient Texts, which can be found in dungeons. Each skill requires a certain level of Spiritual Force. You can raise your characters' SF-Level by assigning LP (which you earn in battle) to them. But each character has only SF of one color. So how can you learn a skill like Heavy Noise, which requires an SF-level of 12 red, 12 green, 12 yellow and 12 blue?

That's where the position menu come in. Spiritual force flows vertically and horizontally, so each character benefits from the SF-level of all party members in the same vertical or horizontal row.

In addition, the SF increases your stats as follows:
Red: +ATP
Blue: +MAP, +REG
Green: +DFP ,+HP
Yellow: +SPD ,+MP

When you have learned a skill, you will never forget it. But if a character isn't positioned correctly, he will need more IPs to perform a skill. This is marked by a * beside the name of the skill in the battle menu.

Attack Skills

Attacks that overwhelm DFP are useful against enemies with a very high defense. If an attack copies oneself, the character is invulnerable for a round.
