Power-ups

I think I'd try building a spellsword type for this game, considering all the possible links and spells and such. I don't typically play magic users unless there's some kind of metal between me and my foes, and even then I prefer rangers or fighters. But it seems like magic would be really fun to play here, and it's always good to broaden one's horizons, I think (even though I'm the pickiest eater in the world). I could play a supportive and offensive role with magic, and if mana becomes a problem, I'd always have my trusty blade to help out. The best defense is a good offense, right?

My character Ralyk would have..
Equip: Katana - The main component of my build, and of my offensive capabilities.
Link - To imbue my weapon with spells and abilities, and possibly mix spells up. Experimentation is a wonderful thing!
Spell: Dark Pulse - Dark magic is always fun to mess around with, and I'd like to try it out with my katana first.
Spell: Earth Splinter - Because why not choose the under-rated element? It could also make an interesting combination with the katana.
Spell: Heal - For support and sustenance in and out of battle.

P.S. I've followed the first game fairly closely and I've always been interested in it, and getting the chance to actually play is just really cool in of itself!!
