This is my first time to write a FAQ, so please don't complain about the art...
anyways this is a guide to the magic in the best game on Earth...Chrono Cross!
In this game you have to FIND your magic, just like FFVII. If you know how to use
FFVII's Magic system, you've got a little head start. You can find Elements in treasure
boxes, prizes after fights, and many other circumstances.
II. Versions
--------------
-1.0 Everything is new...
-1.3 Added a lot of descriptions
-1.6 Added a lot of descriptions and Chrono Cross, finished water attacks
-2.0 Added more descriptions, finished black attacks
-Final Finish the guide
III. Magic
------------
Magic exists in pairs. The pairs are White/Black, Yellow/Green, and Red/Blue. The colors
are effective against the other. If the field effect is all [insert magic innate here], that
kind of magic is almighty until the next casting of another kind of magic. To Summon a monster
to come and tear your enemy apart (with the exception of Unicorn), you need to place it on
lv.8 and the field effect must be filled with the Summon's innate.
