SaGa Frontier Magic revision
#3
First off, Mar, you are right about Life Magic. There is already a Life Magic spell to automatically revive characters that are knocked out. The reason why most of my healing revisions (particularly the multi-target spells) don't heal unconscious people is because it would be FAR too imbalanced. Other than those, normal healing potions are able to revive unconscious characters (except for mechs, which can only be healed with repair kits).

Second, Evasion and Accuracy in the normal game are not visual stats, but they are still calculated as one. Maybe in a revision they could be their own stat.

Third, Deathsynthesis is a passive monster skill that allows the monster to regenerate in places filled with death or decay, like a sewer, crypt, or graveyard. It's not a magic spell.

Fourth, Mirage magic is currently an all offense attack. Like I said before, it's basically Phantom Blast made its own magic class. The phantoms cause damage to single targets with an added status effect.
  • Black Cat: Mess
  • Nightmare: Sleep
  • Jackal: Venom
  • Cockatrice: Petrify
  • Reaper: Death

I can only think of two other phantoms right now, but no additional status change to go with them.
  • Phoenix
  • Dragon

Evil magic is VERY USELESS. The current spells deal damage and stun, with one of them basically being a copy of the Death Card. Long story short, this is a magic class that would need to be HEAVILY revised.

Another thing you have to keep in mind is that in order to get the mid and high level spells in the magic classes, you need to first acquire the gift, and the process in doing so is different for each class.

Light and Shadow magic requires you finish a small dungeon first.

Arcane and Rune magic has you do a huge runaround across the world finding runes and gathering cards.

Time and Space Magic are only known exclusively by the Time Lord, Kylin, and Blue by killing whichever one was unfortunate enough to cross the formers.

Mind magic makes you enter a staring contest with Buddha to gain the gift.

The gift for Mystic magic is exclusive to mystics.

Realm magic is exclusive to mages born and raised in the Magic Kingdom.

Evil Magic is (for now) exclusive to Zozma.

Life Magic is exclusive to Blue/Rouge (after their battle).

Mirage magic is (for now) exclusive to Princess Rei.
