The Legend of Zelda: Forgotten Gates

Xu is a mage who weaves her spells primarily with her lyre. She was the leader of the Resistance against Ganondorf, and has many connections with both the royalty of Hyrule and the more common folk who stood with her in defense of their land. Since that time she's settled down with a blacksmith named Einion and started a family, although as with Aubrey and Fallon, the game is set in a time before any of their kids came along.

In Forgotten Gates, Xu is a Squishy Wizard type, second only to Zelda amongst the main playable characters in magical oomph. Her element is Spirit, making her strong against Light and Fire, weak against Water and Shadow, and neutral against Forest. Offensively, though, she can take advantage of any elemental weakness the enemy might have, thanks to a trio of spells that deal damage of the Fire, Water, and Forest elements (the in-character justification being that she summons spirits of these elements). She only has two of those spells at level 1, however, and her Spirit-element spells tend to be more powerful at base.

Xu's special ability is Song, which is inspired by Mog's Dance ability in Final Fantasy 6. Like Dance, Song allows a category related to an element to be chosen (in this case the songs of the Six Sages), but the precise spell which results from this is random. Also, Song can change the terrain on which the battle is taking place. In FF6 this had very little mechanical effect, just that the ability had a 50% chance of failure the first time if the terrain didn't already match the dance being attempted. In FG, terrain boosts the power of elemental skills, so being able to switch the terrain has a strong tactical importance. I think I may make it such that Song only switches the terrain and has no immediate spell if Xu uses a song that doesn't match the terrain, rather than giving it a failure chance. I worry slightly that players who don't bother with tutorials will think that's all the Song ability does, though, and never try using the song that matches the terrain because that would be a waste of a turn. Another difference from Dance that I'm pondering is not forcing Xu to continue playing the song for the remainder of the battle.
