The directory separates eight category cards from 23 named Spell records. That distinction matters: an element heading is useful navigation, but it is not another castable Spell.

How to compare Forgotten Stories Spells

Start with the job the Spell must do in your party, then read the pattern and source fields that affect whether your build can use it.

01

Choose damage, healing, or support

Fire Ember, Chaos Spark, and Pebble Throw deal elemental damage and apply different statuses, while Mend is a single-target heal that reduces Bleed.

02

Read the rune image

Use the attached pattern to identify the Spell. Do not rely on a text-only memory of the shape when the current card and in-game interface are available.

03

Match the element and effect

Compare affinity scaling, applied status, target type, and your party's missing role before adding more runes or planning a combo.
