Armor increases Rynn’s resistance to attack.
She begins the quest without armor. Be sure
to save some gold to purchase armor. There
are several different types of armor, each

Shields can be equipped along with
one-handed melee weapons to use during
combat. The advantage of a shield over a
parry block is that the shield can be held
up in defense as long as necessary. However,
shields do not absorb as much damage. Equip a shield in the Weapons/Items
screen by selecting it and pressing the √ button.

Some weapons are charged with magical abilities that can be used to exact
additional damage on Rynn’s enemies. When an enchanted weapon is equipped,
the number of charges will appear in the Mana/Power Glass. To execute this
magical ability, press the Ω button. Once the number of charges is depleted,
the magical ability is lost forever.
Note: If Rynn is equipped with a shield, the Ω button will always block with
the shield instead of activating an enchanted weapon’s magic. Deactivate all
shields to allow Rynn to use a weapon’s magical ability.

A Dragon Knight practices the deadly art of spell casting. Rynn can set her
enemies afire, freeze them mid-stride or frighten them into retreat without
drawing her sword. As with weapons, Rynn must attain specific skill levels
before she can use or purchase certain magical spells.
To cast a spell, Rynn must have it stored in her Spell screen in the Items Menu.
