I. Storyline
A powerful enemy invading from the south is advancing fast towards
the kingdom of Lucia and has already set up fortified outposts on
the edges of the continent. The only Lucians with the ability to stop
the enemy's advance is a class of people known as Warriors. They
are the only ones with the capability of casting sorcery spells,
spells that the enemy leaders are also capable of using. The king of
Lucia calls on the mighty Warriors of the land to save his kingdom.

II. Characters

Alek - A brave Warrior from the township of Lucia. His swordsmanship
is unrivaled. His ATT stat is therefore unusually high at game start.

Ephron - A resourceful Warrior from the township of Plato on the
southern tip of the Lucia continent. He is good with shields, and
therefore begins the game with an unusually high DEF stat value.

Aracon - A student of sorcery from the township of Marsh on the
east edge of the Lucia continent. His sorcery ability is unmatched,
and therefore begins the game with an unusually high SOR stat value.

III. Bosses

Each enemy fortification has an end boss. Defeating this end boss
either supplies you with an orb that can be equipped to cast
transform spells, or gives you a special item that can be used
to advance in the game.

IV. Book Spells

Equipping books purchased at book stores allows a Warrior to use a
book spell. These spells attack all enemies at once but use up CSP.
CSP can be restored with certain items.


V. Party Members

You can gain additional members in your party by defeating other
Warriors in their respective hometowns. You may have up to 3 members
in your party.


V. Helpful hints

1. Before using weapons, armour, books, or orbs, you must equip them.

2. Attacking the enemy closest to a character does the most damage.

3. Obtaining the help of other Warriors can make battles easier.

4. Use book and transform spells wisely.
