You don't have to use different symbols on different enemies with different weaknesses and resistances. And somehow, the primary elements are always the ones that have non-suckish high level spells!

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Yeah, those spells always get advanced versions. And the powerful spells like Dar of Holy only get one or two high leveled ones. It's the same in SO, too!

Easy wins have never been my style Posts: 728 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Gender Male	Fire Bolt > Explosion Ice Needles > Deep Freeze Lightning Chain > Thunder Flare Earth Glaive > Stone Rain For some examples, although I tend to prefer Ice Needles to Deep Freeze, even though Ice Needles is one you learn earlier, I prefer it's direct nature, rather then area coverage.

And it's a lot more impressive than Flare, I gotta admit!

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Wouldn't that be: Explosion = Flare? I think it goes like this, including the ones added in The Last Hope: Ice Needles -> Deep Freeze -> Arctic Impact Fire Bolt -> Eruption -> Explosion -> Volcanic Burst Lightning Blast -> Thunder Flare -> Plasma Cyclone Earth Grave -> Stone Rain -> Terra Hammer Wait, I'm sure there are other ones between the lightning and ice symbols... Man, they made too many!

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	They both look very, very similar, though. It's a giant burst of energy that combusts. Plasma Cyclone looked... amazing!

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Yup, I use Extinction as Leon's secondary spell in Second Evolution and Erys' main spell in First Departure. In First Departure and Second Evolution, it looks identical: some black meteors rain down diagonally onto the ground. As a result, a giant burst of energy explodes at the center of the map, dealing maximum damage to all enemies. But in The Last Hope, it looked much worse. It resembled one of those auras with the hexagonal shell, much like the one that Xemnas used against you to shoot endless lasers at you in Kingdom Hearts II. The thing explodes on the inside, and a beam of light radiates from the middle. The aura gives away into a little explosion. I liked it better in the remakes.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Well, I'll be looking forward to KILLING enemies with it then.

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	But it's not that short. The duration of the spell is shorter than Meteor Swarm, though, so that's one of the reasons why people use Leon instead of Celine. And it has no element, too. But still, the spell takes about five seconds. Noah is probably the fastest high level symbology.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Yeah, Meteor Swarm may be nice, but it takes forever, and once again, Explode did the same thing for me!

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Explode was like confetti, really. It was all sparkly and stuff when it activates.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	But that's some EFFECTIVE confetti, eh? I could easily deal 9999 damage with Trance.

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Yes, exploding confetti! Erys should be dealing about 4,000 damage with it when you first get her.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Well, with Trance, she dealt about 7000 damage. It was ridiculously amazing.

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	And when she's a high enough level, she should be able to deal 9,999 damage to all enemies.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	Yeah, she's the strongest mage, without a doubt. She can even replace Millie! She has Condition Cure and Explod, she's set.
