Is there a TP bar?

[Fredrick]

I'm sure this has been talked about before but... I wasnt here for it so w/e. What happens when you use magic? I mean... what gets used up?

So far, we don't know if magic is even in the game.

There is no TP, either. There are Photon Points on your weapons, and when you have a force-style weapon (rods, wands, etc. called "hues") equipped, you don't attack with it, but instead, you cat techniques, which use up PP apon use.

But the thing is... people playing the demo found monofluids. So we still aren't 100% sure about everyone not having TP yet.

O_O Wow that's a weird way to cast magic.

Not quite, you can ask OdinTyler for a more detailed explenation but I'll put it in a nut shell. Techs need items to help channel the power or very experienced users.

We don't know for sure if certain non Hao weapons will be able to use techs, like rare weapons, but I'm sure something like that will exist.

i suspect that newmans will be able to use techs without the use of equipment somehow. otherwise that wouldnt have much advantage over the other races

beast-strongest race cant use techs or guns
cast-cant use techs best accuracy
human-all around
newmans?

Actually, apparently droids can use techs from what we have been told but I could be wrong.

[_Tek_]

The newmans will probably get advanced magic ability, but basically since each race can use any kind of weapon, they put techs on rods and such do casts can use them. I think its to define the 3 weapons classes a bit more, and more balance.

[OdinTyler]

Yeah, I forgot to bring that up. I did see monofluids out in the field. This means that you do have magic & can replenish it or the fluids are a way to replenish PP. I never actually used the fluid, so, I have no idea what it does in PSU. LOL

[Kent]

Fluids most likely are there to replenish PP.

At this point, thinking of techniques not attached to weapons, seems to be little more than wishful thinking... So far, everything we've seen points to hues being the only way of casting techniques. :/
