Meditation

''“It’s said that the fallen angel Erigora was able to immediately heal all his wounds by meditating. It's obviously a fake story, but concentrating your mind is still important.”'' - Alice

''“What!? Is that even possible!? What the hell is wrong with your body? Why do you think that would make it normal for you to be healed!? Having your wounds healed just by meditating is strange no matter how you look at it! What is that... Scary... You're a strange one...”'' - Alice

“That Meditation of yours is almost cheating...” - Tamamo

Meditation is a skill which Luka learns indirectly from Alice, who originally intended to teach him to improve his focus and concentration in order to enhance his general fighting technique. It costs 3 SP to use, and recovers half of Luka’s maximum health.

This skill is one of Luka’s most useful skills (if not the most useful), allowing Luka to take care of monsters which would normally be impossible. In drawn out battles, it is often advisable to use this skill combined with regular attacks and spirit defenses as opposed to powerful skills.

Before entering the Treasure Cave, Alice originally mentioned Meditation as a joke, only for Luka to try it and successfully heal himself, much to Alice’s surprise and bemusement. She had also assumed that the story was just a legend; obviously, she wasn’t expecting a human to be able to do anything close to something she thought to be a myth.

Luka’s ability to recover abnormally may be due to his angelic powers. Alice’s story also claims that a fallen angel used Meditation, which further confirms that Luka is an angel.

Trivia

 * When Luka receives extreme burns and lacerations after surviving Granberia’s Vaporizing Rebellion Sword, Alice said that it would take approximately a month for him to recover. However, his wounds are fully healed overnight. This event is most likely the result of Meditation.
 * When Luka calls out Tamamo when she heals, she points out that Luka not only abuses Meditation to heal himself, but he can also use it often while she has to wait for a long time between heals, and even calls it “cheating”.
 * Meditation may be a reference to the healing spell of the same name used by most final bosses of the Dragon Quest series, often called cheating by fans as it heals atleast half the health if not all the health of the boss's already large supply of health.
