You can assign items and magicite to slots on your
command list. Use the Control Stick to select a slot and press
the A Button to display your inventory. Select the desired
item, then press the A Button to confirm your selection.
Spell Fusion
Some magicite can be fused together or with weapons to
create entirely new spells or attacks. Simply place the
magicite or weapons into adjacent slots on the command list.
To split a fused spell into its original components, select the
spell, then select the "Split" option that appears. To fuse them together again, select
a component, then select the "Fuse" option that appears along with your inventory.
Some magicite combinations require three stones instead of two. Results also vary
with the order in which the stones appear on the command list.
If you have empty command slots and pick up
magicite or phoenix down, it is automatically
assigned to those command slots. This occurs in
both single-player mode and multiplayer mode.
Items Assigned Automatically
Select "Drop" to drop an item onto the ground. Select
"Destroy" to destroy an item. You cannot select items
that are currently assigned to command slots. Also, you
cannot drop any items while carrying the chalice.
There are four equipment slots. You can equip a weapon,
body armor, a piece of armor specially designed for your
tribe, and an accessory. Some equipment can only be
used by members of a particular tribe. Blacksmiths can
craft weapons or armor for you if you have the required
materials and designs (p. 27). You cannot change your
equipment while carrying the chalice.
Artifacts are special items that enhance your attributes or
abilities. This menu lists the artifacts you own. It does not
include artifacts picked up in the current dungeon. Select
an artifact with the Control Stick to view its effects.
This menu lists artifacts you have collected in the
current dungeon. The effects of these artifacts last
only until you exit the dungeon.
