Does magic regenerate? or you need to do the flask thing forever

Melee seems better now that I am eating Giants for breakfast...they go down so fast once you have enough firepower o.o

Magic in this game is a make it once use it a set number of times thing. You need to recharge your elements and remake spells once you've used them. But other than for attacking 20+ enemies at once, I very rarely see a need.

You really have to get into the magic system and experiment for it to be useful. If you know the right items and elements to combine and have some money to burn, you can make a spell with 9999+ damage even in the first chapter.

Think of them as grenades, because that's what they essentially are; grenades with elemental attacks (mixed with catalysed extras).
If you look closely at the animations of a spellcast, it becomes quite obvious. :3
And since grenades don't recharge, you need to make new ones when you run out. ;)

9999 per hit, sadly there's no limit break with magic :(

Of course there is a break limit, which ups the damage cap to 99.999 dmg per hit per mob, which is extremely effective with Tricast Firagas and so on. ;)

It is kinda tedious. Imagine they added durability for weapons/armor and you have to repair those every other day...even between battles. Most sane people will go with melee unless it was turned into some kind of Monster Hunter insanity.

Ice magix is beautiful

Using some items you can make more than just 3.

There is.

Where? I have everything on the skill tree and the limit breaks I have are only for techniques.

Magic sources are scattered around, especially near campsites. You can also get them with certain skills for killing enemies.

It's not on the skill tree. In the endgame there are materials you can infuse with spells to get the strongest version of them. E.g. 1 Fire + item = Lvl 999 Flare.
This spells deal 99.999 damage.

You can get most of these limit break materials at the hardest monster hunts and dungeons.

Ah I see, I never did much magic related stuff at endgame in PS4. I'm on chapter 9 now so I'll keep an eye out for stuff.
