SEISHIN/PSYCHO SPELL CASTING FAQs:

1) What are Seishin/Psycho Spells?
- These are the spiritual reflections of each pilot. Using Seishins or
 Psyho Spells grants each pilot a special ability to perform their
 combat actions better.

2) Who can use Seishin/Psycho Spells?
- Basically, any pilot, including enemies. What really matters if a
 pilot has learned any.

3) Where can we find Seishin/Psycho Spells?
- When you highlight a pilot in the map and press "circle", you open a
 pop up menu. If you know Chinese, look for the word "Jing Shen".
 Otherwise, choose an option that opens another pop up menu with 6
 more options, and has a fraction that says "SP X/Y", where X is the
 number of SPs that pilot has, and Y as the maximum SP that pilot has.

4) What are SPs?
- These are "spirit points". They establish a limit. Through them, you
 are able to determine how many SPs you can spend, and therefore you
 are able to calculate how many times you could cast a certain Seishin
 or Psycho Spell.

5) So what are these numbers behind each Seishin/Psycho Spell?
- These are Seishin/Psycho Spell costs. In the past, these costs are general,
 but in this game, costs vary from person to person. Some may share the same
 costs for a certain Seishin while others don't. If you cast a Seishin, the
 cost for that particular Seishin deducts your total available SP (as
 represented by "X" in question #3 above).

6) Is there any way to increase the max SPs?
- Yes, by levling up, and/or by learning the Pilot Skill/Ability "SP Up".

7) Can we recover spent SPs?
- Yes, through items, and/or by learning the Pilot Skill/Ability "SP Recover".
 Some other Seishins recover others' SP too (Anticipate).

8) Is there a master list of all the Seishins that my pilots have learned?
- Yes. There are 2 methods: 1) During the intermission, pick the 3rd to the
 last option, or 2) During a scenario, point the cursor anywhere where
 there is no pilot and press "circle". A pop-up menu opens. Pick the 2nd
 option. Doing any of these 2 methods will display all the Seishin that
 all your pilots have learned. Any option indicated with a "????" indicates
 that that certain Seishin/Psycho Spell hasn't been learned yet.

9) How do I learn Seishin/Psycho Spells?
- Simple, by leveling up. Remember that Seishins are available to certain
 pilots, while some are pilot-exclusive.

10) What are the Seishin/Psycho Spells in this game?
- They are about to be mentioned now...
