A Boy Overshadowed
Most of us take our shadows for granted. Do you ever think about your shadow? It is with you every day, everywhere you go. Whether outside on a sunny day, or at night by candlelight, your shadow is there, imitating your every move. In the summer sun, your shadow is short and dark. In the slanting light of a sunset, it grows long, stretching out, following your stride. Your shadow is always changing, yet it is always exactly you. In fact, your shadow is the dark side of you. Do you ever wonder what your shadow is thinking?
What if your shadow had a mind of its own? What if… it suddenly began making demands? What if it started ordering you around? What if it expected YOU to follow it?
This is the story of Ari, a young boy growing up in the village of Tenel. His destiny is to be swept away by an adventure that few could envision, and even fewer survive. The force that will drive Ari down this perilous road is now his shadow.
Around Tenel and neighboring villages, ghosts sometimes creep out of the dark forests to terrorize villagers. Some materialize into dangerous beasts that ambush unwary wayfarers. The truly unlucky are left stricken by ghostly curses that leave them in misery.
One night, Ari’s sister Annie is found lying on the path to her house, cursed. In a desperate bid to save her, Annie’s family holds a séance with a mysterious bottle that Ari’s father had mysteriously acquired. The ceremony ressurects a spirit from the bottle named Master Stanley HiHat Trinidad XIV. Stan, as he likes to be called, is the spirit of an Evil King. And he is Annie’s only hope.
Centuries ago Stan was locked away in the bottle, where he languished while other free spirits fed on his power. Stan had prided himself on his ability to strike pure terror in all who fell under his gaze. But after so many lifetimes locked away, he has grown too weak to even travel on his own, let alone terrify anyone
Stan informs Ari’s family that he wishes to inhabit the shadow of a living person. By enslaving a human, he can carry out his campaign of destruction against the false Evil Kings who have stolen his power and hopes to then regain his original form.
The situation is desperate… and the decision harsh. But to save his sister, Ari makes a pact with the demon. In exchange for lifting the curse, Ari will allow the Evil King, Stan, to become his shadow and his master. In the candlelight, Stan comes to life and Ari becomes enslaved in his terrible gaze.
Ari is transformed into a warrior on a strange quest to destroy evil on behalf of evil. Throughout the land, spirits swarm like locusts, ghosts drift through fields in broad daylight and Evil Kings and rumored to inhabit nearly every village. Ari will do as he is commanded, and draw his sword against all enemies of his shadow master. Along the way, Ari will gather a party of eccentric but powerful warriors who will stand by him in combat. His abilities will grow powerful, matching every enemy spell with a deadlier magic. He must become the strongest force in the land — or forever live under the shadow of evil. Ari must escape his shadow by stepping out of the light and into darkness.

Check your character’s and your enemy’s elemental base. Try to use attacks that wreak havoc on an enemy’s elemental base. While attacks that don’t follow the Rule of the Elemental Triangle inflict damage, those that do, result in maximum damage.
COMBATANT INFORMATION
During battle, watch the information on your party and the enemy forces to judge the progress of the fight. When under attack, check the loss of HP for your party. Keep everyone battle ready by giving weakened fighters HP restoring items.
Status Boxes
There are three colored boxes next to the name of each character in the information display. Use these to quickly see the status of your fighters during combat.
Status Effect Attacks (The Left Box)
One of the perils of combat is a Status Effect attack. Status effects are temporary afflictions resulting from an enemy’s Special magic. With the exception of “Disabled”, they end when the battle is over.
In certain cases, if a character is hit multiple times with the same status effect, the severity can change and intensify. If a fighter is afflicted with a variable intensity status effect, the level number will appear in the box.
A character cannot be under the influence of more than one status effect at a time. Each new status effect attack replaces the previous one.
A character can be stricken with both a Status Effect and a curse at the same time.
A balloon with a special symbol for the Status Effect appears over the head of the afflicted fighter. Normal State and Disabled display no symbol.
Find an Item or Special that will cure these states.
GREY – This is a Normal state.
BLACK – Disabled
Unlike other states, a character will not recover from the disabled status effect at the end of a battle. The HP of the character will remain at zero until the character is revived. If Ari becomes disabled the game is over.
PURPLE – Poisoned
LIGHT BLUE – Lock
1-3 Hits: LP consuming Specials cannot be used.
2-3 Hits: HP consuming Specials cannot be used.
3 Hits: Items cannot be used.
In some cases a character will spontaneously recover from Lock during a match.
YELLOW – Paralysis
1 Hit: Little change in performance.
2 Hits: The affected character is unable to take actions.
3 Hits: The character is unable to take actions and cannot recover from this state until the battle is over.
GREEN – Sleep
The affected character is put to sleep and must be awakened before he or she can do anything. Sometimes a character will wake up after a time.
CURSES (CENTER BOX)
Curses can leave a character confused, powerless and unconscious. His own magic can even be turned against him. The cursed character suffers the effects even after battle. A curse can be broken by the use of the right item or special magic. If no curse breaking items or specials are used, the character must wait until the party rests at an Inn or is healed at a save point in the field.
If a character is cursed multiple times with the same curse, the severity can change and intensify but no symbol shows the increase in severity.
A character cannot be under the influence of more than one curse at a time. Each new Status Effect attack replaces the old one.
A fighter can be stricken with both a Status Effect and a curse at the same time.
SOME IMPORTANT AND DANGEROUS CURSES
TURTLE – The speed of the Action Bar slows down.
SAINT – The character is damaged whenever he or she attacks an enemy.
LP DRAIN – Whenever a character uses an LP Special, the amount of LP the character would normally use increases. The curse intensity increases every time the character performs an action.
DEATH – When cursed with death. the Fate Timer appears at the beginning of battle. Each action the victim takes counts down on the timer. When it reaches zero, the character cannot perform any action. The effects of the curse intensifies with each ghost encounter.
SANDMAN – Character begins battle in a state of stage 1 Sleep.
EVIL EYE – Character begins battle in a state of stage 1 Paralysis.
TAX – Profit from killing a ghost decreases.
RUST – Defense ability decreases.
CONFUSE – Characters won’t respond to commands correctly
ELEMENTAL BASE (RIGHT BOX)
Shows the Elemental Base of each fighter. Use this information to enhance each fighter’s attack. See “Rule of the Elemental Triangle” on page 20.
CHANGE OF STATUS SCREEN
The Change of Status display appears in the Battle menu after any change to either your force or enemy forces. These indicators appear over the head of the affected character or Ghost.
Loss of HP is listed in Red.
Gain in HP is listed in Green.
GAME OVER
If Ari gets killed in combat, the game is over.
BATTLE RESULTS INFORMATION SCREEN
GET ITEM – This shows the items you won from the enemy during battle.
GET MONEY – This shows how much money you won during the battle.
GET EXPERIENCE – This shows any changes in status that your character achieved during battle.
SYSTEM MESSAGE – Tells you when one of your party changes LV (Level), and whether or not they gained a new Special attack.
