>>54630928(contd)For this particular take on FE, I made it so each branch of magic has a niche.
Light magic is light, accurate, has crit, and later tomes buff the user or are effective against monsters.
Anima is soft-divided into 4: fire, thunder, wind and ice. Fire is pure damage, thunder has crit, wind kills flying nigs and hoes especially well, and ice slows people. In addition, Shion has her own tome called Usseewa (yes, I named it after the song)that aptly Silences people upon hit.
And finally, for Dark, I made it so it debuffs enemies. Spectre nerfs enemy attacks and Tartarus puts people to Sleep (they cannot attack, only evade). There's also classics like Nosferatu where damage dealt is hp gained for the user and Luna that ignores the RES(resistance) stat at the expense of no inherent atk power (relying entirely on the user's magic stat).
All 3 major branches have siege magic: Purge for Light, Bolting for Anima, Eclipse for Dark (halves user hp on hit)
