Quick notes
- Equip an Esper before earning magic points. Once Espers become available, assign one through a character's Skills menu.
- Separate learning, summoning and level bonuses. An equipped Esper can provide a summon during battle for its listed MP cost, normally once for that character in that encounter.
- Choose relics for the coming obstacle. Each character has two relic slots.
Give several party members a healing spell; story splits and later multi-party dungeons reward shared preparation.
