You've been accumulating SP (skill points), which you can use at any time to both reveal and obtain new skills. Go to the skill menu and touch a character portrait -- that should bring you to the skill tree. Navigating it is a bit tricky (you have to swipe only on the selected skill, an only up and down a particular branch), but basically you can tap on one of the boxes with ??? and spend SP points to view the skill, then more points to acquire it.

Thanks for the help, it's one of the downsides of a straight port I guess in that there's no manual to learn from. It certainly made the boss fight a little harder anyway

I hope the dev's will use their quick review pass, because once this update fixes those minor issues, this game will be perfect.

Oh ya, if anyone one's interested I found good skill charts for Killian, Spinel. This way you can actually plan out what to spend your SP on.

Obviously Spoilers below, but good to warn Anyways.

Once you get the Monster Manual (which lists vulnerabilities, among other other things), you'll see how useful it is to have a variety skills. For example, hitting a fire-vulnerable monster with a small fire attack (which uses less mana) will have a similar effect than striking him with a medium gale attack.

I'm trying to summon NEG to this thread

From what I see it looks like a direct port. Not having played the iPhone version for this reason I can't tell for certain but it does seem to have the exact screens. Anything I have uncovered for this version shows the same shots, skill trees etc.

Sorry took so long to be summoned!

Uh, those aren't all that helpful, since there's no description of the skills, just the name.

After some more digging I discovered the difference in the two is that some voice over content was removed for the iPhone version. In the PSP version if there is a complete conversation the iPhone version only has text and one or two lines of dialogue. Something had to be removed to cut the file size I would assume and what COULD be considered "fluff" is the perfect place to make a slice.

Also for those looking for specifics on the skills and their descriptions there are a bunch of FAQ's for the PSP version out there that you can look up and view their descriptions.
