To use it, players will need to fill their Ancient Magic Meter by completing spell combos and collecting blue, crystal-like objects that appear after those combos are completed. Once at least one segment of the Ancient Magic meter is full, a powerful Ancient Spell will be unleashed after inputting a certain key strike.
