Spirit (species)

Spirits (精霊, Seirei) are elemental entities in Magical Vacation. They serve the purpose of increasing the damage output of magic attacks in combat, similar to how planet alignments work in the sequel, Magical Starsign.

Spirit Combos
By befriending spirits throughout the game, party members can summon them to the field by using Call and Double spells. If a spell is cast while spirits of the same elemental type are on the field, a Spirit Combo is triggered. This will multiply the spell's damage depending on how many spirits were present for the combo.

Spirits and the overworld
Some areas in Magical Vacation are filled with spirits of numerous elements, and having a certain amount of spirits is necessary to enter sealed rooms within these locations. Spirit recruitment is an optional task with no major influence on the story, as is entering the sealed rooms, but having few spirits in the party will make combat significantly harder.

Examples of this can be seen in areas such as Cold Honey Palace. Instead of immediately going to the palace's lowest level to find Blueberry, the party can enter the sealed rooms and push dodos up to Love Hunters. By doing so, the Love Hunters chant a spell to turn the nearby dodo back into a spirit, and they will be recruited without an asking price. Cold Honey Palace's sealed rooms have emblems of spirits on top of the doors, all of which can only be opened if the player has recruited at least one of the spirits on the emblem.

The Pyramid's chambers work just like the ones in Cold Honey Palace, except the player needs three spirits of the same type to get into the sealed rooms.

Some locations of spirits will change based on which element was chosen at the start of the game. When the player recruits their first spirit in the starting area of Mimolette Forest, the seventh spirit of that type will not show up in the Pyramid.

Recommended order
Due to some spirits having conflicting views on what the player should and should not own, a certain order must be followed if players want to achieve 100% completion.


 * Avoid catching or purchasing Gummy Frogs at all costs until all 7 Love Spirits are recruited.
 * Avoid challenging Darkness Spirits 1 - 6 until all 7 Light Spirits are recruited (see below for details).
 * Catch as many Gummy Worms as possible to make Stone Spirits appear, then use the Gummy Worms to befriend Insect Spirits.
 * Do not recruit any Beauty Spirits until all Stone and Insect Spirits are on the team.
 * After fighting Gershwin in the Toptoh Mines, Cabernet will join the party. There are certain spirits around the Light Realm that hide in areas guarded by immovable Gummy Frogs, but with Cabernet's Special Power, he can make them move out of the way. The following spirits are blocked by immovable Gummy Frogs:
 * Ancient Spirit 2 - Wetsomus Ruins: Southwest
 * Water Spirit 2 - Rekcarc Quarry: La Roche Log Bridge
 * Fire Spirit 2 - Iko Domnag 5F
 * Once all 7 Love Spirits are recruited, there is no consequence for catching Gummy Frogs. These are needed to find Darkness Spirits.
 * The first one that should be recruited is Darkness Spirit 7 (1000 Gummy Frogs caught) in Touekat. Once it is obtained, the player can train to master Light Magic for Yekrut where Light Spirit 7 is.
 * Light Spirit 7 will only allow the player to have 1 Darkness Spirit recruited, which will be the one found in Tuoekat. After befriending it, the player is free to challenge the 6 remaining Darkness Spirits.
 * If at least 3 Darkness Spirits have been recruited, the following spirits hidden behind sealed doors with Inky emblems become accessible:
 * Blade Spirit 1 - Cold Honey Palace: Darkness Room
 * Wood Spirit 7 - Pyramid 10 (Sound Door --> Insect Door --> Beauty Door --> Thunder Door --> Darkness Door)
 * Wind Spirit 7 - Pyramid 10 (Sound Door --> Insect Door --> Darkness Door --> Wind Door --> Blade Door)
 * Sound Spirit 7 - Pyramid 10 (Sound Door --> Insect Door --> Darkness Door --> Fire Door --> Light Door)
