Your Wizardry Spells are a good way to use the Five Phases in an offensive manner. If you’re up against an enemy who is hitting you with a lot of Fire magic, hit back with Water spells. It’s possible to counter spells this way.

Next, assess the damage you have done. Take. Each piece of armor you have in your arsenal has bonuses and penalties for each phase. If you’re facing off with an enemy that attacks with Metal-based Wizardry Spells (curses and poisons), switch into armor that’s resistant to Metal.
