SoM Solar spell proof (screenshots)

[SomUnknown]

I found the supposedly disproved Solar magic...

It has some awsome spells but takes alot of MP

Girl:
Solar Heal (rapidly heals for certine period of time)
Star Saber (Knocks enemies out when hit)
Light Speed (No time in between sword swings)

Sprite:
Solar Flare (fills the screen with yellowish fire)
Metiorite (hits one enemy with metior for high damage)
Solar Wind (blows away enemys except bosses)

I've gotten to level 4 I'm leveling up in the screenshot, then I thought I should show people this discovery.



So this is to the people who said it was fake.......

[Warlock]

Solar is fake.. it is very easy to manipulate screenshots.. how about some shots of the actual spells???? hmm??

[Skatche]

Better yet - save states?

[Flash Man]

That is pretty fake. I've gotten everything in SoM. Including the Mana Sword, without casting the dryad magic. And that screenshot is only one, not many. Doesn't show much either. I was going to make a fake thing like that, but i'm too hungry.

[Elemental Knight]

The magic you'repurporting to exist, supposidly exists tin the slot that's left empty for both the Girl and the Sprite, right? Well, that spot's there because only the Sprite gets Dark magic, and only the girl gets Light magic. It's just another rumor.

You can get the Mana Sword other than just the in final battle?

As for the Solar magic or whatever, if Sprite could get it, I would've seen it by now: I have all the Sprite's magic up to 8.99. The Girl's on the other hand isn't so hot, but still!

Yes, there is a glitch where you can make your characters re-fight Mantis Ant and get another sword orb (thus getting the Mana Sword). For some reason the Mana Sword was never put in the game as an actual weapon (the end sword isn't really the mana sword per say, you are just casting mana magic on the other sword)

I used to have everything at 8.99 (girl and sprite) but then I messed up my save game and now it's corrupted.. Oh well.. that was my best game tho.. level 99 characters, 8.99 on all the magic (actually, I think there were a couple that went over that, like 9.03 or something, don't remember for sure).. I had the Level 9 Javelin which I have no idea how I got. I swear the game is really wierd when it comes to level 8/9 orbs.. most of them you have to get in the Mana Palace and a couple you can't. Have never been able to track down the last Axe orb. It is one orb behind everything else.. I dunno..

[vegeta1215]

Yeah, the Mana Palace Orbs are confusing. Way back I asked for help on GamePro's site and someone emailed me a complete list of the orbs and locations which let you get level 9 for everything (except the sword of course). I started playing through and checking it off, and so far it's been right.

For me, I had level 9 of everything (except the sword of course) and level 7 for the Axe and Claws! I was missing two for those! Damn!

What the sheet said was that you get 2 Axe and 2 Claw orbs in the Fortress!I have to play through to test this. I do have all the best equipment though! (Fairie cloaks, Power Suits, Fairie Rings...) I even wrote down who gives you what! I got it at home though.

[SomUnknown]

You get the 8th and 9th axe orb from fiend heads in the mana fortress.

and it was an april fools day joke about solar, no one fell for it

my orignal was ugly, I hand drew the solar guy it looked like a sun with a face.

[Mak-X]

I never used the glitch trick to rack up on orbs.

All I remember is fighting around in the Mana Fortress and some of the final locations of the game and getting a 9th orb for a weapon like the spear. It seemed totally random and almost glitchy, but I was surprised when I got lvl 9 weapons.


I bought Secret of Mana used about a year ago and played it again all the way up to the Volcano but just stopped. I had played the game so many times before. This was the game, greater than Zelda 3 in some ways that I would rent all of the time. What made me stop is I had played it so many times, and I was trying to level everything up evenly as I played, which made the game really boring having to switch to the menus to check the stats and switch weapons. It's more fun to just play the game.
