What Does MP Do?

Available Mana to Cast Spells

MP is used to show how much mana the Hero has available to cast spells. Each spell has their own MP cost, and it will be subtacted from the Hero's current MP whenever the spell's casted. If the Hero doesn't have enough MP to cover a casting cost, the spell cannot be casted.

How to Increase MP

Level Up

The best way to increase the Hero's MP is by levelling up. This will also increase their other stats as well, making them a lot more effective in battle outside of just an MP increase.

Use Seeds of Magic

Aside from levelling up, using Seeds of Magic will also increase the Hero's MP. However, these are limited in supply, and it's better to level up first if you don't need the immediate boost.

How to Recover MP

Rest at an Inn

The best way to heal MP is by going to a town and resting at an inn. This way, you can also restore the Hero's HP at the same time, and they'll be fully refreshed for the journey ahead.
