The symbols in this game are required to cast magic spells. The more symbols
you find, the wider range of spells you can cast. Additionally, in order to
unlock the Mystic ending, you must locate all of the symbols. There are a
total of 25 symbols to find; click on the Spells icon to see which ones
you have located.
The attributes of the different spells can give you an idea of which creatures
are most susceptible to each. Evil creatures, such as the undead (like
mummies and walking skeletons) are always vulnerable to Holy spells. If you
can't decide, experiment with different spells to see which ones do the most
damage to different monsters.
The symbols are listed here in the order they appear on the spell chart. It's
mostly alphabetical, except that they made a mistake in putting Music before
Mushroom (alphabetically, Mushroom should come first).

experience; also chat with John the innkeeper about it. Go into the desert and

star. Go back to the capital city and speak with John again so that he tells
you about the traveler who claimed to have seen a silver angel. Go to the
