Re-examining Ancient Magic Spells

[Trigger]

I believe in the intro video they had a mage cast magic (maybe ancient magic) on an archer and he fired it into the malbro. Maybe SE had plans to implement something like that in the future for it?

This is actually a good point. It could be more useless to us now because a mechanic that has yet to be added.

That was the first thing I thought of when reading the thread too. I think it would be an interesting mechanic to bring into the game, especially if it caused a synergy where one element matches with one type of weapon, and if they're used together, the damage is amazing.

I agree. It's reminiscent of Chrono Trigger, a game that I really enjoyed.

I offered up a detailed thesis about this very subject in my battle regimen reform and encouraging cooperation thread.

Yup, I keep thinking about that every time I watch the opening movie. I think 'collaborative' magic would bring something really unique to this game's party experience. I hope that's where they were going with it.
