Sealed Stones:

Sealed Stones are encountered from Serdberg Mountain Ruins onward and can affect players and enemies. They can be placed in Shells (decorative), Altars (activate effects and connect to Veins Of Earth), or Springs (allow returning stones to Veins Of Earth and retrieving them). Spending Magic Crystals allows you to Return Sealed Stones to the Veins Of Earth, enabling their retrieval from other dungeons.

Magic Crystals:

Magic Crystals are obtained from Air Combos. A method to maximize them involves Alicia's Imply React, Rufus's Rating Zone, and 2 Mages using Lightning Bolt. Equipping Rufus and the 2 Mages with the Double Edge or Triple Edge skill can further help. Ending battles with Direct Assault grants an additional 30 Magic Crystals. You can obtain a maximum of 80 Magic Crystals per battle.

Sealed Stone Examples:

• Heavy Black Anchor's Commandment (100/Serdberg Mountain Ruins): Invalidates compulsive movement force while moving on the field, decreasing Knock Back or Blow Away in battle.
• Masochistic Commandment (3000/Serdberg Mountain Ruins): A portion of the damage dealt rebounds back to the attacker.
• Misty Commandment (200/Serdberg Mountain Ruins):
  • Player Effect: Enemies are not displayed on the minimap (a small map shown on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)).
  • Enemy Effect: Enemies will not chase the player.
