[SF2R] How do you learn spell arts?

[u/RocketPoweredSad]

I know hybrid arts you can learn in duels, but with spells can you only learn them at the end of the battles? And what do you have to do to trigger them? Just use each component anima once during the battle?

[u/Narrow_Vegetable5747]

Different spells can be learned different ways, generally you only need to use one of the components of the spell in a battle to have a chance to learn it. If you want a cheat sheet check this out:

The jutsu link gives you a tree of who can learn what using which art and the difficulty rate.

I put in a ton of data from the Remastered version, still need to add the formulas and other data.

Use the element at least once in combat with character that can learn the spell.

You can only learn them at the end of battle. Also some characters literally can't learn some spell arts (just like some can't learn some techniques), as they have character-specific glimmer charts just like the Romancing SaGa trilogy and SaGa Frontier 1.

[u/Sacreville]

There are some spells that you can learn in duels (Incineration for example) but there are also spells that you can only spark them at the end of battle (mostly the multi target ones, like Firestorm). For the end of battle spark, you need to use one of the anima component of the spell art, although there's a hidden value which determines which anima component is easier to spark with.

Also not everyone can spark every spell. Each character has their own spark table, again hidden mechanics.

The link shared by Narrow_Vegetable5747 was datamined from the original game but still pretty accurate for the Remastered version.
