How is Shadow the most powerful? Isn't it part of the balance that Spekkio manages?

[Legend of the Past]

I know. Shadow isn't more powerful. From what I gathered, Dark Matter isn't  much more powerful then Luminaire. It's part of a balance, it's like saying that fire, water and lightning are all evil, and when combined they create darkness. Besides, if lightning is Heaven, how can anything with HEAVEN in it can make something DARK?

People might think shadow is "the most powerful" only because it utilizes all of the other three elements.  So, theoretically, you can use any spell anyone else can.

Kind of like what Senator Palpatine says in Episode III "A true jedi learns all aspects of the force".  Something to that nature.[/u]

Says friggin who? No one in the game, that's for sure.

He's probably referring to the fact that Marle and Lucca have to combine their Water and Fire magics in order to produce a Shadow spell (Antipode), while Magus for instance can cast Shadow stuff by himself.

[Legend of the Past]

How do you know Antipode is Shadow? Where does it say that?

[ZeaLitY]

The general effect of it is Shadow. Try using it on undead enemies and such.

[Legend of the Past]

Oh, well. So it's Fire and Water. But it has nothing to do with Thunder.

[DeweyisOverrated]

That, and also the fact that Magus can use the rest of the elements individually.

[Chrono'99]

I'm not sure but I think even Delta Force and Delta Storm (Fire+Water+Lightning) are Shadow spells... Three characters have to combine their force to produce Shadow, that does show how powerful that element must be.

[Legend of the Past]

I think it's more like Shadow+Lightning, which means Good+Evil. Which explains how powerful it is.

[Chrono'99]

According to the Mechanics Guide on GameFAQs it's Shadow only.

[Legend of the Past]

Maybe it coverts the Lightning into Shadow? Obviously, Fire and Water are all that is needed to create Shadow.

[AuraTwilight]

The way I see it, Magus is a sorceror, so of course he can use all types of magic. Shadow is of course his innate, is all.

The way I see it, the whole balance of Water, Fire, Lightning, and Shadow is symbolic. Fire and Water are opposites of a physical existence, and Lightning and Shadow can be interpretted as opposites of a spiritual existence (Heaven and Shadow.) And it continues the parallel, physical versus spiritual. This keeps folding out infinitely to all concepts of the universe. True Tao. Balance. But it's not so clearcut. You say Antipode, a Shadow spell, is made with Fire and Water? Ha. I present two reason. One, they're opposites, so they negate each other and create Shadow, Void, where Heaven would represent existence, or atleast the cause of it. Reason Two would be continuing the Tao analogy, as even opposites contain traces of their counterparts, as they can never be truly seperated. Nothing is fully good or evil. Right or Wrong. Black or White. The physical elements of Fire and Water cannot escape the spiritual Shadow.

Damn, my brain hurts.

That's what I said. ^_^

Have some tea. Or coffee. I, for one, am a man of teas... But each with his tastes.
