Codex Abilities

Codex abilities have been finalized!

Throughout your adventure, you will obtain "Codex" items that you can equip. A lot of these items will provide universal bonuses to anyone who equips them, but certain codices will also grant abilities to specific characters. Codex abilities are intended to be highly scalable, more so than regular battle abilities, so they should be useful throughout the entirety of Penumbra Crystallis.

Here is the list of codex abilities. I've removed the column saying who gets which abilities, so their users will remain a mystery for now! Happy guessing!






Also, of course, the Blackmoon Prophecy/Final Fantasy influence behind some of these abilities is probably obvious.

  1. Hi. You need to use the charsets for the battle? If you use custom battlers, you could make something close to the Record Keeper's battlers. The enemies are too big and the chars just too tiny. But that just my opinion, of course. best regards

    I made this quick mockup. Just small re-dits.

    1. Nah, I'm not looking to mimic Final Fantasy with chibi overworld sprites and larger battle sprites. The approach I've taken to battle sprites is completely intentional.
