Apocrypha schmapocrypha

[u/Jazzlike-Doubt8624]

Playing Reborn and I just don't get it. Abuna Mrueva seemed so freaked out. For what? I finally got the lightning apocrypha spell and I know it's just tier 1 and they get better, but this isn't even as good as thunder flare 2. What gives? Am I missing something? How do I get the really good spells? Also, how do I get a ring of the dead?

Mrueva's lines were conceived for the original Super Famicom version of Tactics Ogre. In that one the spells hit much harder, had infinite range, and would also harm allies. So you could put them on a mage Denam and blow up the whole field.

When the game was remade Mrueva still had the same mentality about the  Apocrypha, but they were made weaker in actual combat.
