In a world where humans roamed the lands as nomads and elves researched the mysteries of the world...
The elves researched the mind and were able to gather energy from the land and turn it into Magic. Humans were courageous in spirit and able to channel vast power from the land and turn it into Artes. With the advent and discovery of Seam crystals, humans could learn magic, and elves learned Artes. Both races had a beneficial coexistence until the Great Elf War.

Overview:
You will have to make use of your flexible skill pool to overcome challenging foes. Skills are divided into Magic(natural power from the planet) and Artes(power drawn from the individual). Using these skills drains your TP bar, something that enemies will take advantage of...
Mana Burst and Mana Flow.
All living things have mana flowing through their body. Being overcharged with Mana will make a creature resilient to ailments, but can lower their chance of hitting enemy weak points. Conversely being low on mana will make you more susceptible to ailments, but will make your chance to strike an enemy's vital point skyrocket.

S.e.a.m.s
Most skills have different variations that can temporally or permanently be learned using the Super Elemental Art and Magic System, or Seams for short. Throughout your journey, you'll discover Seams crystals of varying elements. Equipping them to different characters will change their existing move set. Experimenting and mastering this system will let you handle any foe in any situation.
