Synthesis Seals

※ English names might change as the translation project progresses.

Overview

Seals are special abilities that can be synthesized onto weapons or shields.

Each seal is represented as a single Japanese character (Kanji, Hira, or Kata),
and the color of the seal is based on the source item.
The 3 colors are: equipment (blue), food/grass (green), and scroll/misc (red).
The 金 seal can be found in 2 colors, but unlike Shiren 2, the effects are identical.

Generally seals make your adventure easier, but some are a double-edged sword
or have an outright negative effect, so some care is needed.

Village blacksmiths can erase unwanted seals for a fee.
Sludge (ドドロ)'s special attack can also remove seals at random.
