The plot revolves around Maritte, a once-ordinary girl whose magical powers awaken when she visits the magical academy of Ikenfell in search of her missing prodigy sister, Safina. As players gather companions and explore the towers and courtyards of Ikenfell, they must master a timing-based combat system focused around the casting of sigil-based spe
