Stop has three stages: Stop, Stopra, and Stopga.Įvery so often, the party acquires a special item called a Summon Gem. Some enemies are immune to Stop, however.

Hit them while they're Stopped, and then all that damage accrues at once when the spell wears off. Gravity has three stages: Gravity, Gravira, Graviga. Gravity: Gravity, as in the FF games, reduces the target's HP by a fraction of the total, rather than a set constant, and can be more effective against larger enemies.Aero has three stages: Aero, Aerora, and Aeroga.

To cast those spells instantly in combat, hold down L1 and press the appropriate face button. Three can be available at any time, mapped to the square, triangle, and circle buttons. It's possible to go the long way around and select a spell from the menu, using the D-pad or the right analog stick, but smart spellcasters use the Customize option in the status menu to create a selection of hotkeyed spells.
