## Abilities

### Glass Shards

    Unlocked when Pertisia joins your party

*Pierce your foe with a series of glass shards.*

Pertisia summons three glass shards to strike the target. The ability's timing happens when each shard impacts its target, for a total of three timing inputs.

### Crystal

     Unlocked when Pertisia joins your party

*Shield an ally & raise their defense for 3 turns.*

A large circular outline surrounds the target. The ability’s hit timing occurs when the circle closes in on the target.

The target will receive a three-turn defense boost, with the boost being larger on better ratings. If you get a rating of at least NICE, the target will receive a shield that reduces the next damage they take to 1.

### Levitate

 Unlocked when Pertisia joins your party

*Drop target on a distant tile. Effective against giants.*

A magical hand picks up the target and drops it away from Pertisia. The ability's timing happens when the target hits the floor after being dropped.

Normal enemies will be dragged all the way to the edge of the arena that Pertisia is facing before being dropped. "Giant" enemies will instead be dragged two tiles away and dropped.

### Retaliate

 Unlocked when Pertisia joins your party

*Pierce all foes who are near you or your allies.*

This ability targets all enemies that are adjacent to any party member, with separate hit timings for each enemy. A circular outline surrounds the target. Another circle appears inside the outline, and it expands outwards. The ability’s hit timing occurs when the two circles are the same size.

### Prism

 Unlocks at level 9

*Raise defense of multiple targets for 3 turns.*

For each unit in the area of effect, a triangle appears above that unit's head, then two diagonal lines move toward it from the left and right side of the screen. The hit timings happen when these lines strike the triangle, twice per target. Each unit's boost is determined separately by the timing when the triangle was above its head.

### Shatter

 Unlocks at level 12

*Damage targets & lower their defense for 2 turns.*

For each target in the area of effect, two parallel vertical lines appear on either side of the target, then close in on it. The hit timing happens when the lines meet in the center, once per target. The ability's damage and the magnitude of the defense debuff are determined individually for each target.

Cooldown: 2 turns.

### Surge

 Unlocks at level 15

*Conjure a wave of glass spikes across the arena.*

Pertisia conjures glass spikes underneath each target column in turn, starting with the one closest to her. There are separate hit timings for each column. The glass spikes emerge from the ground, then recede into it. The ability's hit timing occurs when the glass spikes are at their zenith.

### Stasis

 Unlocks at level 18

*Damage targets & lower their speed for 2 turns.*

For each unit in the area of effect, Pertisia summons a small crystal above their head that falls to the ground. The hit timing is when the crystal impacts the ground, once per target. The ability's damage and the speed debuff's magnitude for each target depend only on the timing for that target.
