Amigo List, also stylized as Amigo list, is a mechanic in Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign.
Gameplay
Magical Vacation
Amigos are registered to the list by using the Let's Amigo feature in Communication. It can hold up to 100 separate entries, providing the Amigo's protagonist's name, current spirit attribute, and that attribute's magic level. By selecting an Amigo, the player can either set that Amigo's essence to a party member, view the Amigo's individual magic levels at the time of registering, or erase them from the list. Registering 5 Amigos with the same attribute as the player's protagonist unlocks love magic, and registering a full list of 100 Amigos unlocks dark magic.
Magical Starsign
The Amigo list serves a similar purpose, cataloguing the names of players registered over Tag Mode, and whether the players' protagonists use the light or dark starsign.
Players can set a unique 40-character message to send to other players through Tag Mode, with five text backgrounds available from the start of the game. A sixth background is unlocked by obtaining a pooka string.
