Light and Shadow Queen Lusica of Haskilia was born into Illumina’s royal family in much happier times. But with no father and a mother too ill to care for her, she suffered in her personal life. And now, she finds her reign troubled by the war that ravages this once-peaceful land. Understandably embittered, Lusica has turned her anger toward the invading Aklorians and thrown her considerable powers into defending her kingdom. 4 Light and Shadow Four friends have joined together to aid their queen.
Fellow Heroes These four player characters (PCs) hold the future of their world in their hands—even if they don’t yet realize it. Tal While his father abandoned the family in favor of army life, the ongoing war claimed the lives of Tal’s mother and younger brother. A war-torn youth— scarred by his father’s betrayal and the passing of those most dear to him—left Tal with a burning desire to prove his mettle as a soldier and to earn the respect of his father.
Buki An exotic mix of human and animal, Buki’s senses and instincts are far sharper than any human’s. But because of those very differences, she, like most of her race, is somewhat mistrustful of humans. Nevertheless, her position as an ambassador has brought her to Illumina Castle, where her shrewd and clever nature serves her well. Special Ability Buki’s special ability is her climbing claws. She can scale walls and clamber sideways with ease to get to places others can’t even dream of reaching.
The Worlds Haskilia Citizens of the Bright Empire of Haskilia long enjoyed prosperity and contentment. But when the ruthless Aklorians began invading the kingdom, slaughtering any innocent in their path, all thoughts turned to survival. Now, the Haskilian Army is called to defend its people from Aklorian warriors ravaging the countryside. Illumina Castle From within her castle in the capital city of Illumina, Queen Lusica governs well, despite the rampaging war.

Equipping a Character As you progress, you’ll want to equip yourself with new and better weapons, spells, and items. Let’s say that you want to swap your Recruit’s Sword for the more impressive Mammoth’s Fang sword you just found. Here’s how. Quickshot Items While adventuring, you’ll collect such useful items as healing ointments and antidotes to poison. The easiest way to retrieve these items is to make them Quickshot items by assigning them to ?.
Combat Some battle strategies work better than others. Fortunately, you and your friends have many different talents. Ailish favors ranged magical attacks, while Tal prefers to wield his sword in melee techniques. Here are different fighting tactics and the characters that excel at them. Note: Be sure to look for opportunities to boost your armor with runes or spells. Melee Attacks Got some evil up close? Wipe the smirk off that Aklorian’s face with a melee attack.
Ranged Attacks TO LAUNCH A SPIRIT STRIKE Sometimes it’s smarter to attack from afar, especially when the enemy either outnumbers or outclasses you. Ranged fighters favor pistols, magic staffs, and some spells. Using ranged attacks will deplete the purple ranged-attack meter. Generally the meter will recharge over time, but for some weapons, you must deplete the meter fully before it will recharge.
Setting Character Behavior You can build an effective fighting force by specifying how your heroes behave during combat. For example, you may want Tal to attack the enemy aggressively while Ailish wields her magical staff at the same time. You do this by adjusting the characters’ A.I. (artificial intelligence). Each character has three settings: • Attack – Attack without any regard for defense. • Defend – Attack any enemy that threatens the lead character. • Retreat – Avoid combat no matter the situation.
Status Effects Some enemies launch status-effect attacks that affect the “status” of your character. You, in turn, can also affect the status of enemies by purchasing runes for your weapons and armor. Some status effects can be beneficial. For example, you can collect items (such as panaceas) that provide immunity to harmful status effects (such as Poison) or allow you to “boost” the skills of your companions.
Skills In addition to their innate talents, Tal, Ailish, Elco, and Buki each have unique skills that you can buy to provide more tactics during combat. With these they can launch special attacks called Skill Strikes. Skill Strikes use up Skill Points (SP), so you can cast only a limited number of them before you’ll need to use potions or rest up at inns to earn more. You can control some Skill Strikes for melee fighters Tal and Buki. Other Skill Strikes, such as healing, affect all party members.
