Practical Tips

Section titled “Practical Tips”
  • Learn Reorder early. Correct shelf section is not enough if a same-title row is out of order.
  • Keep the book list open when carrying a large stack so you can avoid mixing titles.
  • Use active ability buttons freely on a normal clear, but avoid active major magic on Anti-Magic Master.
  • The Run permit and High Jump come from key chests; see Keys and Unlocks before route planning.
