Encyclopedia

The encyclopedia, known in Japan as the adventure guide, is a log of information about the game mechanics of Magical Starsign. After Madeleine's tutorial sequence, additional items are logged in the encyclopedia by talking to certain non-player characters in the field, particularly radishes.

List of entries

#	Title	Description
001	Item: Millennium Gummy	These ancient gummies have been aged for over 1,000 years. They possess the condensed power of the elements--far too much power for any person to handle, so don't eat them!
002	Item: Bean Pop	These mysterious beans give you experience points. Nobody knows where they came from.
003	Item: Leaf	Mysterious leaves keep falling from somewhere. Snack on them to give your skills a boost. You'll have to find out for yourself which leaf improves which skill.
004	Item: Pooka Shell	Pooka shells aren't adventure items. Instead, they give you new stationery to write your Amigo messages on.
005	Item: Book	This old tome has generations of non-planetary magic knowledge written on its pages. Study it to master the ways of that magic. Don't worry: using it won't make it disappear.
006	Item: Gummy Frog	This tasty gummy frog snack helps you regain a little of your lost HP. Don't catch too many of them, or they'll disappear!
007	Item: Gummy Worm	This gummy worm may look gross, but it tastes great! Chow on it to recover some of your MP. Don't catch too many, or they'll start to disappear.
008	Item: Lizard Tail	Lizards occasionally lose their tails and leave them sitting there on the ground. Disgusting as it may seem, eating them will cure all kinds of unusual ailments.
009	Item: Bomb	Bombs are packed tight with dangerous magical powders. They can deal massive damage during battles, but they're good for only one use. KABOOOOOOM!
010	Item: Whistle	Use a whistle to change formations. They're good for only one use, so use them wisely!
011	Item: Jam	Strange planetary magic altered the fruit used to make this sweet jam. Use it during battle to boost your abilities for a short time.
012	Item: Sugarstar	These weird, star-shaped candies fell from the sky. For some reason, they're usually found next to pots. Word is Pizza the Warp Dude is crazy about 'em.
013	Item: Figurine	Figurines are magical statues that hold the soul of a beast. Release them during battle with Macadameus to summon the beast and fight it.
014	World: Treasure Chest	It's just your average, garden-variety chest packed with treasure. For some reason, people put valuables in them and leave them around all over the place.
015	World: Mysterious Chest	The weird thing about mysterious treasure chests is that they appear only under special circumstances. Don't get your hopes up too much. Sometimes, they hold only ordinary stuff.
016	World: Pizza the Warp Dude	Pizza the Warp Dude is the best. He'll let you warp all over the place. Sure, sometimes it doesn't work, but all he wants in return is a sugarstar.
017	World: HP Pot	Chug the water inside an HP Pot to regain all of your HP. Strangely, HP Pots are actually living, speaking creatures. Also strange, you might find sugarstars near them.
018	World: MP Pot	MP Pots gurgle and burble if you toss in a frog, but there are a few better ways to recover all of your MP. Drink all you want, because they're bottomless, but don't be surprised if they talk to you!
019	World: Encounters	Sometimes, you'll be walking through an area, minding your own business, when some hideous monster will leap out and tackle you. That won't happen as often if you walk on non-grassy areas.
020	Wild Magic	Magic used outside of battle is called wild magic. Apprentices can wield just one type of wild magic. Depending on which element it calls on, wild magic can have a powerful effect on the land.
021	Wild Magic: Wind	Lassi can summon the wind with her magic to lift light objects. Occasionally, you'll find sugarstars on the ground once the wind dies down.
022	Wild Magic: Earth	Mokka's earth-quaking magic causes the ground to shake, resulting in widespread devastation. This spell can also make gummy frogs flip over on their backs and stop moving.
023	Wild Magic: Wood	Chai can cast a spell that causes plants to grow at an astonishing rate. Occasionally, you'll find leaves on the ground after casting this spell.
024	Wild Magic: Fire	Pico's scorching wild magic is so hot that it sets the wind on fire! Flames wrap around plants, creatures, and just about anything in the area. This spell sometimes causes pop beans to appear on the ground.
025	Wild Magic: Water	Sorbet uses water magic to trigger torrential downpours and create springs. Water is the essence of life for all living creatures. Casting this spell causes gummy earthworms to wriggle out of the ground.
026	Wild Magic: Light	Legends tell of powerful magicians that mastered the awesome power of light magic. Light magic washes away darkness. Casting it causes gummy earthworms to burrow into the ground.
027	Wild Magic: Dark	Once, a very powerful archmage mastered the magic of darkness. Dark magic sews fear and mistrust in the hearts of its victims. Using it scares away gummy frogs.
028	Battle: Spellstrike	Tap yourself at exactly the right time while you're chanting a spell to execute a spellstrike. Spellstrikes energize your spell and cause it to inflict greater damage on the enemy.
029	Battle: Reflex guard	Tap yourself at just the right moment while you're being attacked to pull off a reflex guard. Successful reflex guards absorb some of the force of the attack and reduce the damage it inflicts.
030	Battle: Magic Aura	When your home planet is in phase, your aura becomes energized and your magic power grows much more powerful.
031	Battle: Front and Back Rows	Cast spells from the back row to increase the affected target area. You won't be able to use attack skills. Casting from the front decreases your affected target area, but you can pummel enemies. Those in the front tend to take more damage.
032	Battle: Magic	Magic is the key to combat. Each member of your party has an affinity for one of the planets and can cast the magic of that planet. As your party members improve and gain experience, they will lean new magic spells.
033	Battle: Kicking and Punching	If you're in the front row, you can punch and kick your foes during battle. Walloping the enemy is less effective than using magic, but it doesn't use up your MP, so choose your attacks wisely.
034	Battle: Defense	Defend during battle to take less damage from punishing enemy attacks. Using a reflex guard is more effective when you're defending.
035	Battle: Flee	When in doubt, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Just remember, you can't always make a clean getaway.
036	Battle: Repeat	Tap Repeat during battle to repeat the same action you did last turn. Go on, try it! It's handy.
037	Battle: Order of Magic	The planetary houses each have their own strengths and weaknesses. This Order of Magic determines how they perform against other magic, as seen below: Water->Fire->Wood->Wind->Earth->Water Light and Dark damage one another.
038	Battle: HP	Hit points, or HP, tell you how much punishment you can take before you'll fall in battle. The more you have, the tougher you are!
039	Battle: MP	Magic Points, or MP, determines your magical stamina. The more MP you have, the more spells you can cast, and the more magic you use, the more you drain your MP.
040	Battle: MP Recovery	Your MP Recovery ability determines how many MP you recover automatically during battle. If you tap out all of your MP during battle, defend or use items for a few turns to build up more MP.
041	Battle: Experience Points	You will grow stronger and stronger as you learn from the battles you win. Every battle brings you more experience, and as you increase in experience, the level of your skill will increase, too.
042	Battle: Help Mode	You can switch to the help mode during battle when you select a command. Tap it again after displaying help to execute the command in this mode.
043	Battle: Status Effects	* Movement pains from thorns * Lowered skill level due to dizziness * Unable to recover from curses * Unable to cast spells because of illness * Blindness causes you to miss attacks * Paralysis from petrification or charring
044	System: Switching the Top Screen	You can choose from three different screens to place on the top screen while you're out exploring: * Map * Astrolog * Party status
045	System: Rocket	While you're in the rocket, you can switch up your party and heal your wounds. Anyone who has joined your cause and is not in your party will wait here for you.
046	System: Changing Your Party	In the air-conditioned bliss of the rocket, you can safely swap the members in your party. Some people will come to you and talk to you when they have something important to tell you.
047	System: Eggs	You may get an egg from a passing Amigo. If you exchange Amigo Data in Tag Mode several times, an egg character will hatch from the egg.
048	System: Egg Characters	Egg characters are named such because they, well, hatch from eggs. Egg characters can join you in the rocket. While their magic can be powerful, their spells have been known to backfire.
049	World: Planetary Movements	Inner-orbit planets rotate slowly, while outer-orbit planets rotate quickly. The sun emits five colors of light. When a planet is in phase with its same-colored band of light, characters with that affinity gain a boost to their magic.
050	World: Day and Night	The sun is always phasing between active and inactive states. This causes the day-and night-like phenomena that occurs in Baklava. This cycle affects anyone with a light or dark affinity.
