Best Abilities
While the character ‘Frey‘ is already equipped with some abilities at the start of the ga
me. You can work towards making them better by upgrading them and unlocking additional ones. The following abilities are the most useful ones to get :
Shimmy
Among the best magic abilities and spells, Shimmy is considered one of the most important to be equipped with when you begin the game. For a role-playing game like this, moving swiftly across the map is useful for saving time, especially when traveling long distances.
| Cost | 0 |
| Acquisition | Founts of Blessing (The Citadel) |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Use Shimmy. (0/50) 🡹 Restores Stamina. 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
Shimmy, when used correctly, enables you to make jumps and move at a greater speed and explore the map faster. It allows the character to jump continuously by pressing the jump button at the right time, making it much faster than simply sprinting.
It can be unlocked at a fountain called ‘Mulberry Mount,’ which is marked on the map. You will go to this place during the normal story anyways, but you can get it beforehand by going there. Keep in mind that you require much stamina for this ability, but fortunately, there is a fix for that.
You can complete the Shimmy Spellcraft challenge, which will help restore stamina instead while using this ability. Then you can also use it to your advantage during combats to restore stamina while simultaneously dodging attacks by your enemies.
Zip
This is one of the basic abilities in the game. This skill allows you to grab any surface or object and climb onto them, making it easier to move through buildings and climb hills. Using it, you can also reach areas that may appear hard to access through other ways.
| Cost | 0 |
| Requires | Conflagration Lv. 1 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Perform special actions using Zip. (0/15) 🡹 Removes Stamina Cost Entirely 🡹 Red Magic +1 |
This ability’s downside is that you also face the stamina consumption issue here. You will fall if you run out of stamina high in the air. However, you can make it worthwhile by completing the Zip Spellcraft challenge.
It will be unlocked early in the game, but the only way to receive this skill is to turn down Tanta Sila. It is also helpful while encountering enemies as you can use zip for efficient movement during the fight.
Soar
Here is another basic but best ability in the game that you should get your hand on. It enables you to climb any wall or mountainside fairly quickly, so climbing any steep structure will not be a problem anymore.
| Cost | 0 |
| Acquisition | Founts of Blessing (The Water Garden) |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Use Soar. (0/10) 🡹 Improves Stamina Recovery Rate 🡹 Red Magic +1 |
If you have the ‘soar‘ skill, you don’t need to worry about reaching heights as you can get there conveniently. Those who want to traverse Athia to the fullest must get this ability. Head to the ‘Rosewood Fount’ fountain and get it unlocked as soon as possible, seeing how useful it is.
Do not forget to upgrade this one by completing the Zip Spellcraft challenge. Doing so will increase stamina recovery, and the challenge is not difficult, so it is a win-win.
Best Spells
While the abilities enhance your movement experience, the spells are the real deal, as these are the ones that are going to help you defeat your enemies and get your missions done efficiently and more easily.
The spells are gained by obtaining the in-game currency ‘mana,’ which you can do by leveling up, through Mana pools, and exploring different areas of the Forespoken world. Different types of magic enable different spells. The best of them have been explained below :
Cluster Bolt
| Cluster Bolt | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 14 | 38 | 74 |
| Requires | Glide | Cluster Bolt Level 1 | Cluster Bolt Level 2 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Defeat Tantas' minions. (0/5) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Blue Magic +1 | Defeat flying enemies.(0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Blue Magic +1 | Defeat Nightmares. (0/7) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Blue Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Cluster Bolt Lv. 2 | Cluster Bolt Lv. 3 | - |
This spell is part of ‘Blue Magic’ spells which targets a greater area to attack. It shoots multiple bolts at the targeted location, dealing damage to everyone. Remember that it can be difficult to hit enemies that move fast.
Other than that, it can cause great damage to multiple enemies at once, and it is best to use it that way. Upgrading it to level 3 makes the damage and the effective area absolutely massive, so you better work on that straightaway as soon as you unlock this spell.
Screen
| Cost | 28 |
| Requires | Leach |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Trigger during battle. (0/10) 🡹 Effect Duration Extended 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
a ‘Purple Magic’ supporting spell that can be quite useful at the initial stages of the game. It basically creates a circle of stones around the character, greatly reducing the damage from enemies.
It can be of great help, especially when you are yet to master some skills and spells, as it provides a great protective shield.
Leach
| Cost | 12 |
| Requires | Disperse |
| Unlocks | Screen |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Cure yourself of poison. (0/3) 🡹 Grants Auto-Heal Effect after Use 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
One more supporting spell that is a big lifesaver. It stops the damage you take from the poison and removes its effects thoroughly. Later in the game, you can make yourself immune to poison by upgrading your cloak, but it is a great spell to opt for even before this.
Blast Slice
| Blast Slice | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 52 | 38 | 74 |
| Requires | Slice | Blast Slice Level 1 | Blast Slice Level 2 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Defeat enemies that are vulnerable to Sila's magic. (0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 | Strike enemies from afar. (0/5) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 | Defeat 3 enemies with a single strike. (0/15) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Blast Slice Lv. 2 | Blast Slice Lv. 3 | - |
The Blast Slice is a fun “Red Magic” spell. You can charge your spear with this spell before throwing it toward the enemies. The spear explodes after some time and causes significant damage to the surrounding adversaries.
There is another strategy in which you can make fiery arrows rise from the ground and afflict your opponents. You can do this by jumping in the air while using this spell. It is good to support when you have to deal with grouped enemies. Upgrade this spell to level 3 to get more benefits out of it.
Burst Shot
| Burst Shot | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 0 | 38 | 74 |
| Requires | Shot | Burst Shot Level 1 | Burst Shot Level 2 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Defeat enemies that are vulnerable to Frey's magic. (0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 | Hit 3 or more enemies with a single strike. (0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 | Hit enemies from behind. (0/45) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Burst Shot Lv. 2 Flow, Scatter Shot Lv. 1 | Burst Shot Lv. 3 | - |
It is a powerful ‘Purple magic’ spell with a good area of effect and damage, which is good for targeting multiple enemies at once. It is also useful when attacking while moving continuously, as the greater area of effect ensures that you will not miss hitting the enemy.
As you release its charge, it creates a rock that explodes while causing great area damage. This spell is useful at the earlier stages of the game when you do not have advanced ones. To get its maximum potential, you must upgrade it.
Disperse
| Cost | 0 |
| Requires | Bind |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Defeat flying enemies. (0/3) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Leach |
This is another ‘Purple Magic’ supporting spell that is crucial enough, especially in the beginning when you are facing easier enemies. A flower spawns when you use this spell to shoot and damage the enemies.
It helps you in keeping the enemies at a distance. Also, they cannot destroy it, so it is guaranteed damage. You can increase the damage further by completing the Disperse Spellcraft challenge, so do not miss it.
Crucible
| Cost | 24 |
| Requires | Charge |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Hit 3 enemies with a single strike. (0/5) 🡹 Effect Duration Extended 🡹 Red Magic +1 |
This spell is also a top pick; you can unlock it after defeating Tanta Sila. It creates a blazing wall or a circle that protects you from incoming attacks and damages the enemies trapped inside it. It also harms the enemies who try to pass through it.
Crucible brings greater benefit as whatever attack you will make inside it will turn out to be stronger. Apart from this, don’t forget that you will be close to the enemies, so play while dodging their strikes, and the victory will be yours.
Arc Slice
| Arc Slice | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 0 | 38 | 74 |
| Requires | Slice | Arc Slice Level 1 | Arc Slice Level 2 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Build up power and damage enemies. (0/10000) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 | Hit 3 or more enemies with a single strike. (0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 | Defeat the final enemy in a battle. (0/5) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Red Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Arc Slice Lv. 2 Rage Slice Lv.1 | Arc Slice Lv. 3 | - |
Now, let’s move to Arc Slice, another one on the list of best spells. It is a magic sword slice that the character creates in the shape of an arc around itself. You will face many situations in this game when you have been surrounded by multiple enemies and are getting damage from them.
It is perfect to utilize it in such scenarios to carry out the range combats. Like Blast Slice, this one also has a special attack that is done similarly by jumping in mid-air. By doing so, it offers more dealing damage to the enemies. You can boost its effects by upgrading it further.
Genesis
| Genesis | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 0 | 76 | 142 |
| Requires | Shot | Genesis Level 1 | Genesis Level 2 |
| Spellcraft Challenge | Defeat enemies that are vulnerable to Frey's magic. (0/10) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 | Defeat the final enemy in a battle. (0/5) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 | Build up power and damage enemies. (0/30000) 🡹 Boosts Damage 🡹 Purple Magic +1 |
| Unlocks | Genesis Lv. 2 | Genesis Lv. 3 | Vivify |
Speaking of the best magic abilities and spells, Genesis is also on the top. It falls in the surge magic category and is considered the most potent. As you press the required commands, the character slams on the ground, and jagged vines and branches pierce through the enemies in that area.
Remember that: The level 2 and 3 spell is more lethal than the first one. So, upgrade it to make it more effective against enemies.
