Notes: Japanese manual; translations in the quote file are ours. The OCR text layer inserts spaces between characters, so quotes are normalized and the page images are the check. The spell-cost and spirit-mastery prose is in the game-introduction spread, scan leaves 7-8 (printed pp. 4-5); the level/spirit section is printed pp. 19-21; the staff list is printed p. 40. The booklet credits Asmik's staff and music by 田中公平 (Kōhei Tanaka), but does not name Copya System.

A party member's spell is paid for with that member's own HP, as both manuals say. The party's casting code takes the spell's cost from the caster's HP and refuses the cast unless the caster has more HP than the cost, so a spell never knocks out its caster. Costs run from 1 (AT S) to 250 (Spirit); FireS costs 12 and FireA 28.	`「レナス」ゲームのすすめ方, printed pp. 4-5 (scan leaves 7-8)`	Code
A spell's strength rests on the caster's mastery of the spirits it is built from, not on the caster's level. Casting marks the spell's spirits in a record the battle keeps for each party member; on a win, each member still standing whose record is marked gets, for each marked spirit, a roll of 100 under 70 (180 in 256, 70.3%) for 2 more mastery, up to 127. So a spirit gains at most once a win, however many times it was cast. The Japanese manual says only the characters who survive the battle gain; the US manual says a spell's power rises each time it is cast.	`printed p. 19, レベルアップprinted p. 21, 精霊と呪文`	Code
The US ROM has 37 spells: 8 built from one spirit, 28 from a pair (every pair of the eight spirits once), and Spirit, built from all eight. The US manual counts 37; the Japanese manual counts 36, the 8 single-spirit and 28 two-spirit spells, and leaves Spirit out of its count.	`printed p. 21, 精霊と呪文`	Code
The party holds four: usually the hero and heroine and two hired mercenaries. Mercenaries wait in each town's tavern; some join free and others for a contract fee (the ROM's hiring table holds each fee, from 50 for Destry to 8,000 for Peppi). The US manual says to enter commands for all characters.	`printed p. 27, 傭兵システムprinted p. 27, 傭兵システム`	Manual
