She controls their family, even having final say on who they can marry (she must approve of these individuals).

   Magilish: A pyro mage who acts as the groups offense spell caster.

Gameplay:

   An RPG of the traditional style, with items, experience points, HP, MP, stats, and turn style combat with the party at the bottom of the screen and enemies at the top. This game is designed to likely be on handheld systems as the story is not overly long with few side quests, level grinding likely to be the real time user. The story progresses as the player reaches events and defeats bosseses unlocking the next playable areas.

 

 

   The Overworld is a basic map with roads between explorable areas such as towns and fields in which random encounter battles can occur. The player explores the fields and towns from a top down perspective looking for chests, using Inns, talking to NPCs, and having random battles until they encounter a story event. Enemies and how much experience they give increases as the game progresses in the new areas, with one event later on causing the enemies to become stronger at the earlier spots.

 

   The game has a multiple cycle feature, after being beaten the future cycles carry over money, levels, and stats. Even allies found again will still have these from before. The carry over can change with difficulty settings being unlocked for the new cycles, the enemies become stronger (sometimes new enemies will appear, and some more regularly than before), and some bosses may even exhibit different and more challenging powers than before.
