    Say, do we have something like PP (for Pokémon moves) and/or MP (for other magical stuffs) in here?

    You do have MP--but the costs are reasonable for even the most powerful spells. So you can hypothetically cast Fire a lot before running out.

    The power levels follow a Final Fantasy style progression: Base->-ra->ga->ja->da. There are exceptions to this--two level spells jump to -ga for the second level.

    Any spell can hit every enemy and still do the same amount of damage--there's no separate line of one target and multi target spells.

    @WavePearl and one more thing: are Pokémon moves usable here (especially for people like Blacky who relies on his swordsmanship and Umbreon's movesets)?

    The Pokémon type chart is cut in half to nine types (ten if you include Shadow, the evil side of darkness):

    Spirit (Normal)
    Earth (Grass, Ground, Rock, and Steel)
    Fire (Fire and Fighting)
    Wind (Flying)
    Water (Water)
    Ice (Ice)
    Thunder (Electric)
    Luna (Psychic and the good side of Dark and Ghost)
    Sol (Psychic, Fairy, Dragon)

    Poison, the bad side of Ghost, and the bad side of Dark are considered Shadow, but as the heroes, you can't learn Shadow skills and spells.

    So the characters here are basically like this, right?
    • Aine: Sol (Fairy)
    • Xuehua: Ice
    • Atelier: Spirit (Normal)
    • Kelvane: Fire
    • Blacky: Luna (Dark)

    For the most part, that is correct. Keep in mind that they can learn any possible move they can learn, regardless of how or when they learn it.

    How do type matchups work in this case?

    Spirit is neutral against all elements
    Earth is weak to Fire in nature and steel forms, and impervious to Fire and Thunder in rock and ground form
    Wind blows away Earth in nature form
    Water puts out Fire, but nurtures Earth in nature form
    Fire melts Ice and tempers Earth as steel
    Thunder zaps Wind and Water
    Sol and Luna mutually oppose each other
    Sol defeats Shadow

    All the elements combined make a Rainbow, which definitively beats Shadow

    Would it make sense for there to be followings for some of the Dragon Kings, or those who help enforce their power in return for certain benefits? Or if there is a Sol/Shadow/Luna (for Psychic) Dragon King with a sort of hypnotism. Unless this is based specifically on the Gym Leader typings in each land.

    You follow (more or less) the same order as the Gyms in Sword.Shield.

    Psychic is considered part of light in this universe.

    I see. Would that be fitting criteria for the Sol Dragon King? Also, you haven't answered my original question (if the Dragon Kings have followers or workers of a sort), sorry.

    That makes sense, yes.

    It depends on each individual Dragon King, and what sorts of monsters are available to serve as minions.

    If we go by that, would it be roughly like this?
    • Earth (grass)
    • Water
    • Fire (fire)
    • Fire (fighting) / Luna/Shadow (ghost)
    • Sol (fairy)
    • Earth (rock) / Ice
    • Luna/Shadow (dark)
    • Sol (dragon)
    Or are there any changes in the order? I'm not sure where Spirit would be here. :sweat:

    The order looks like this:

    Earth (complete!)
    Water (complete!)
    Fire (up next)
    Luna (cosmic)
    Thunder (electric, replacing Fairy)
    Ice
    Shadow
    Sol (dragon

    If Sol is the most powerful, then I think it makes sense to add a few details to Xuehua's backstory. Should I update it here?
    Also, the earlier elements list doesn't have anything in particular listed that Ice is strong against. I would assume that it's just strong against Dragons in general, like the Fairy side of Sol? Is it 1/2 effective against water like usual?

    That would be helpful, yes.

    Ice is another way to beat dragons, just like the real Pokémon type chart.

    Quick question - could we get a list of all the town names?
