Sorry to start this walkthrough out on a less than happy note, but due
to happenings in the past, I need to state this up front...
Permission is NOT granted to reprint this summary in a for-profit
magazine
or publication without my prior consent. Nor is permission granted for
this document to be used as any type of "source material" for for-profit

magazines or publications to use in any way. Be it basing their own
articles from, reading/reviewing it prior to writing their own articles
in
order to get ideas/make sure they didn't miss anything, or outright
copying. I do not write these walkthroughs so some hack writers can sit
back and get paid for it. This happened way too often in the past, and
it's time to put a stop to it. If your job is to write articles for
gaming
magazines, then do your own work, and stop stealing from mine.

Now on to the good part :)

character's skill inventory, then choose the skill you would

like that character to have from your existing choices.
Look at Master list: list of all the Masters you've currently
found, their locations and which characters are presently
being
trained by each. A star next to the Master's name means that
you have received at least one of everything that you can from

them.

it as a skill. Note, not all characters can learn

all spells)

Dragon Gene System:

During a battle, the main character has the ability to transform
into
one of a number of different dragons. To do this, first choose to
perform a spell. Next, choose Accession from the Attack list, as
this is the Dragon Gene System. You will be presented with a box
containing all of the dragon genes that you have discovered so far.
Just above this box are three choices:

Data: This contains the past six dragon transformations, choose
any of them to repeat the transformation. (Note, press
the Square button to save the data from any dragon in
this group to save them in the "Best" category.
Pick: From the box of dragon genes below, select up to three
dragon genes to combine for a dragon transformation. The

cost in AP varies from gene to gene.
Best: Choose one from up to twelve previously saved dragon
transformations.

You must have the correct amount of AP necessary to complete the
transformation(total sum of all genes used). Also, your character

will lose a specific amount of AP each battle turn(dependent on
which dragon you transform into. Note, you lose approximately half

the total AP cost of the mutation per round, while in Dragon
form),
and will automatically change back to human form if/when his
supply
of AP is depleted.
