Overview

Alchemist lady Noel runs around the 2D field
Fight monsters and get Ryona while making full use of magic​

Developer Notes:
Below are some tips on how to get around the battle.
If you run out of MPs during the battle and the plants aren’t resurrected, just hit the enemy with a light attack. You can take magical power from the enemy. (A lot of magical power can be obtained from the pollutant)
Since the power of a shotgun (holding a chant and hitting a wand) depends on the magic you are chanting, it is justice to hit each individual with an energy ball shotgun. Bomb shotguns will increase the chance of giving abnormal conditions.
When you are blown away, you can be passive by entering avoidance + move at the moment of landing
A few frames with evasion have invincible time
If you start chanting in the air, it will stay in the air (Forsamori Spect System) It may be good to use it to adjust the distance with the enemy
