[A00] About Collabo Spells


1. Unlike the original Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star Generation:1 has implemented elemental damage
   and resistance.

2. The new damage and resistance attributes are not directly tied to equipment. Instead, the player
   is able to purchase crystals, which are named after the basic elemental and healing spells.
   These crystals can be acquired from Camineet's Supply Shop. 
   
3. Characters can be equipped with up to two Spell Crystals at any given time.

4. Equipped crystals will also grant the spells for which they are named. These spells are added to
   the Collabo Menu in battle.

5. Spells granted by crystals do not consume MP when cast. However, the crystal that is tied to a
   particular spell has a chance to shatter when used. Crystals that have shattered are
   automatically unequipped and discarded.


Flaeli Crystal (5500 meseta)
- Adds fire attribute to the equipped weapon
- Collabo Menu gains Flaeli (Single-target fire attack)

Hewn Crystal   (5500 meseta)
- Adds wind attribute to the equipped weapon
- Collabo Menu gains Hewn (Multi-target wind attack)

Tandre Crystal (5500 meseta)
- Adds lightning attribute to the equipped weapon
- Collabo Menu gains Tandre (Area of effect lightning attack)

Frozhe Crystal  (5500 meseta)
- Adds ice attribute to the equipped weapon
- Collabo Menu gains Frozhe (Single-target ice attack)

Heal Crystal    (7000 meseta)
- Recovers 20 HP after wearer acts
- Collabo Menu gains Heal (Recovers 20 HP for one ally)

Curala Crystal  (7000 meseta)
- Grants resistance to all status ailments
- Collabo Menu gains Curala (Cures all status ailments for one ally)


You can also equip two different crystals to "synthesize" unique magic that can't be obtained
any other way. This results from a collaboration between both crystals and the currently equipped
weapon.

[A01] Collaboration Harmonies


Only equipping two crystals will not synth a unique Collabo Spell. Different magics will only work
together through a process I've dubbed "harmony." A harmonized spell requires 2 crystals that want
to collaborate with an equipped weapon. In other words, Collabo Spells are locked behind different
weapon types, and thus are only available to certain characters.

This lists combinations that result in valid harmonies.
