Great to see this LP continue. I'm following this for nostalgia reasons. As a child, I owned Secret of Mana myself.

Not being a native speaker in English, I didn't know at the time what dispel magic actually meant. So I never used dispel magic while playing SoM. As a matter of fact, I didn't know up until now that it could counter a Wall spell.
Then again, young me was a firm believer of the if-it's-not-healing-or-damage,-it's-not-worth-using school of magic.

In young you's defense, that is the truth of a LOT of magic in oldschool RPGs.

I'm holding off on the weapon update until we have a little more to show for it, so for now, another Person of Interest has appeared, so let's get a Character Profile in-


Jehk

This goofy looking fellow is the assistant to the Sage Johk. Had we visited him before hitting up the shadow temple, he'd have pointed us there. Now he's gonna point us towards the light and moon magics, then onto more plot proper.
