Synthesis System

Manipulate the "mana" residing in materials to create new items based on recipes. The items you craft will exhibit powerful effects in various situations, such as exploration and combat. The strength of an item's power depends on the materials used in synthesis, so select your materials carefully while assessing the power of the embedded mana.

Battle System

In real-time combat, you'll be tested on your ability to make split-second decisions. Utilize two types of attack ranges ("range") and switch between skills to fight strategically. Additionally, synthesized items can transform into shapes such as swords or spears, which can be used to attack. Since these items are reusable, don't hesitate to deploy them and drive away enemies that stand in your way.

Game Cycle
