Spell list

The mist ring is an item introduced in the Advance port.

In order to learn some summons you need to get the items from those monsters by the same name. For example, to get the Bomb summon, you need to fight Bombs until they drop a "Bomb Item" which lets you learn Bomb Summon. Summon abilities are in parentheses.
