Resident Time•Rewinder and Head·Nester

Tama joins Lann
and Reynn at
the beginning of
their journey, and
she's a Mirage
of many talents.
She wields fire,
can rewind time
to get the siblings
out of otherwise
fatal predicaments,
provides great
advice, and is just
overall a great
companion to
have around.

She also cares for

the two deeply-perhaps at some point, you'll get to find out
just how much.

ERAFIE
The Best Character in the Game•
(•Source: Totally Not Serafie)
At first glance, Serafie appears to be a lackadaisical pixie who
goes where the wind takes her, but deep down, she's got a
drive to do the right thing. As such, she holds down the fort in
Nine Wood Hills, providing items, cluing the siblings in to new
game mechanics, listening to gossip for secrets and Mirage
encounters, and
otherwise just
pulling in all
sorts of overtime.
Her scathing
wit comes at no
extra charge.

FEEDING OF MIRAGES
Mirages! You find them, catch them,
grow them, and fight them . Life in
Grymoire is all about dealing with
the challenges that Mirages pose, but
as Mirage Keepers, Lann and Reynn
can turn them into potent allies . Every
dungeon has a fresh set of Mirages for
you to fight and recruit, and perhaps
develop into one-of-a-kind monsters
of legend.

PRISMTUNITIES
As is explained to you at length at the
start of the game, most of the enemies
that you face over the course of World
of Final Fantasy can be caught and
turned into controllable members of
your team . This is done via a process
called "imprisming," where Lann or
Reynn catches a weakened Mirage in
a prismarium .
Players will be unable to attempt
imprisming a Mirage unless you create
a "prismtunity." The process for doing so
is different for every individual type of
Mirage. You can learn a new enemy's
prismtunity conditions by casting a Libra
spell on it, which Tama knows at the start
of the game, and which you can teach
to Reynn and Lann via mirajewels. This
also saves the enemy's slats and general
dossier to your Mirage Manual, which
you can access by going back to the
Twins' Room and inspecting their video
game system.
The conditions for a prismtunity are generally self-explanatory,
although it may take a bit of finesse or may not take effect
immediately. A Mirage that requires you to "reduce HP," for
example, generally enters prismtunity status at around 50% of
its HP, and it doesn't matter how you get there. Specific types
of attacks, such as physical or fire-based, may require several
hits to work.
Many Mirages require you to inflict
specific status ailments or hit them with
particular elemental attacks before
they can be imprismed . It's difficult
to have a broad enough arsenal of
abilities to be prepared for any possible
prismtunity, but fortunately, you can
sometimes compensate for this with a
stash of items. There's a consumable
item for many status ailments and types
of elemental attack in the game, and
you can purchase just about all of them
from Chocolatte sooner or later. Check
the Items section of the Encyclopedia for
more details.
When you're attempting prismtunities,
remember that you can freely use
beneficial spells and items on your "''
enemy by scrolling through the targeting
menu when using the Classic Battle
Menu . This can come in handy if you're
trying to catch weaker Mirages, since
you can heal them or even apply
buffs like Shell or Protect to ensure they'll survive . This is
even required in certain cases, such as the magic pot, which
requires giving it an elixir.
There is also an ability called Subdue that was pretty much
designed for imprisming, as it deals damage but will never KO
the enemy. The easiest place to access it is on the sylph Mirage
you receive in the early stages of the game.

A Mirage that's susceptible to being imprismed will be You receive the full standard experience value for an enemy

will only be active it for the next few turns, after which it wears
off. Unless a given Mirage's prismtunity conditions specifically
indicate it can only be applied once per battle (e.g., the left
claw or minimantoise), you can try again a second time. 15
