Spell

Spells are a kind of Special Technique that can be learned by various magical users. They generally have different range mechanics than regular techniques.

Types
There's many kinds of spells, making magic users very versatile:


 * Offensive
 * Healing
 * Buff
 * Debuff
 * Ailment

Offensive spells are split into the 4 elements(Fire, Wind, Ice and Star). Also, offensive and healing spells come in 6 tiers of increasing power(Normal, Mega, Giga, Omega, Tera and Peta).

While only some characters learn each spell naturally, various systems throughout the franchise(Extra Gain, Reincarnation, inheritance through Class/Chara World) allow almost any character to learn most spells to further improve their moveset.

Range
All spells start with short range and affecting only 1 panel, however these will increase as the spell becomes stronger or if the user wields staves.

There's 9 areas of effect, and they are unlocked in ascending order:


 * 1 panel
 * 2 panels diagonally
 * 3 panels in a line
 * 4 panels in a 2x2 square
 * 5 panels in a cross shape
 * 6 panels in a 3x2 rectangle
 * 7 panels in an 8-shaped formation
 * 8 panels in a ring around the target panel
 * 9 panels in a 3x3 square

Those of non-symmetrical shape can be rotated to facilitate hitting the desired targets. A character is free to choose which area they want every time they use a spell once they have more than one unlocked.
