Instead, they will add cards into the stack and activate several times over the course of battle.Ĭompletion of classes is an important gameplay element. Many spells in the game will not do all of their damage (or healing) upfront. In addition to timing help, the card stack allows for co-ordinating time-based attacks. This is done through a card-stack display at the top of the battle screen. When selecting an attack in battle, you can see immediately how that will affect when your character will be able to act next. Unlike other games, however, Mana Khemia gives you the same advantages that the computer has, specifically predicting order-of-action. Like most console RPGs, Mana Khemia has a turn-based combat system. The bonuses for an item cannot be acquired using action points until an adjacent item on the graph and the item itself has been made The grow book is presented as a graph of synthesizable items. However, these bonuses are tied to completing the recipes for specific items in that book. Instead, through combat, the characters earn "action points" which are used in the character-specific "grow book" to unlock new skills and character bonuses such as additional health or mana points. Unlike typical role-playing games, there are no experience points or characters levels. E-level is decided by the beginning E-levels of all the component materials, then adjusted by timed roulette-esque minigame.īoth alchemy and combat are necessary to grow the characters. Again, generally speaking, a higher item level (in-game: E-level) will produce a better item, but there are times when a deliberately low item level is required. In addition to this, there is also an "item level" mechanic which can also change the outcome of your created items. Each synthesized item can be made in a variety of different ways with a variety of different materials to different effect.s Generally speaking, using higher-quality materials will yield better results, but that depends on your goal. However, Mana Khemia has a unique item synthesis system, unlike most other popular RPGs. Throughout the game, your characters must synthesize many items for school assignments. All seems to go well until a dark force begins sending other students after Vayne, who becomes increasingly aware of how important he is. A colorful cast of characters accompany him as he learns of his past, his skills, and the world. The game takes place during the three years Vayne is attending the school.
The 8 of them are able to succeed at completing assignments and allow the workshop to prosper and learn the skills of alchemy. They are soon joined by Pamela (the school's resident ghost), Anna (a 12-year-old master swordsman), Roxis (the son of a famous family of alchemists who is quickly forced to join the workshop by Flay) and Muppy (an alien the group discover on an assignment).
He is quickly indoctrinated into the school by becoming part of an atelier led by Flay Gunnar (an older student who is known as The Defender Of Justice) along with two other students, Jess (a clumsy girl who is nevertheless adept at alchemy) and Nikki (an impulsive beastgirl).
Vayne is invited to the Al-Revis Academy for alchemy training by Zeppel, one of the professors there. Vayne, since then, had led the life of a hermit, his only companion being a Mana in cat form named Sulpher. The game's main focus on is the lead protagonist, Vayne Aurelius, son of a legendary alchemist named Theofratus who had disappeared sometime after Vayne's birth.
