Try Move on objects with room to slide
Move shifts suitable pillars and objects a short distance. The destination needs space, and the Adept needs an appropriate position; being able to see a pillar does not mean it can be moved from every angle.
| Psynergy | Look for | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Move | Pushable pillars or objects | Create a route or change an object's position |
| Mind Read | People withholding useful context | Read thoughts beyond normal dialogue |
| Whirlwind | Vines covering a passage | Expose an entrance |
| Frost | Suitable water puddles | Create climbable ice pillars |
| Reveal | Suspicious hidden arrangements | Expose concealed features |
Use Mind Read for hidden context
Ivan's Mind Read reveals thoughts that ordinary conversation may hide. In a town where dialogue seems to loop, use it on relevant people before searching the same buildings again.
Revisit suspicious scenery with new powers
Whirlwind can expose vine-covered passages, Frost raises water into ice pillars, and Reveal exposes hidden features. Mark blocked paths by the ability they appear to need so later backtracking is deliberate.
| Check | Question | Response |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Is the Adept in range and facing correctly? | Approach from the intended side |
| Object type | Does this scenery support the spell? | Look for the matching clue |
| Equipment | Is the utility item equipped? | Equip it on an active party member |
| Psynergy Points | Can the user afford the spell? | Recover PP before repeating attempts |
Equip utility items when necessary
Some field Psynergy comes from equipped items rather than level-up alone. Carry key utility gear and check who has it equipped before concluding that the party has lost a puzzle solution.
