Most items have an attrition factor or durability. Generally speaking, the more an item is used, the quicker it will deteriorate. Swords and armor will lose endurance with continuous use. In your travels you will encounter someone who is capable of repairing your equipment.

An essential aspect of this game is your character's ability to harness and use magic for both offensive and defensive spells. To do this, you must locate the Magic Crystals that are found throughout the Ancient City. You will eventually tap into the Elemental forces of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Dark, and Light with your magic.
