Sorcery Learning Guide

= Introduction = Monster Girl Quest Paradox v2.40 saw the addition of the sorcerer job line. This job line has the possibility to learn specific skills from different enemies by seeing them use it in battle. They can then be used by the sorcerer afterward against the foes.

The condition to learn the skill is to see it in action, which means the following:


 * Every active party member will learn the skill when someone use it on the battlefield.
 * A character that has learned a skill can "share" it with their allies by using it, even if it targets the enemies.
 * Learning must be activated: The character's current class must be Sorcerer or Nether Sorcerer, or he/she/it must have the Learning Ability equipped which becomes available when reaching lvl 10 of Nether Sorcerer.

Learnable skills include all range and sort of attacks, even including ones using chaos element. Most of theses skills also have the additional effect of doing additional damage, which can be further reinforced by an ability specific to the Sorcerer job line. Their effect also have unusual percentage chance, as while most standard skills have a X*25% chance of working (25%, 75%...), sorcery ones have a X*13.33% chance (13%, 80%...)

Is it worth the effort?
Absolutely. To name just a few points:

- Some of the most damaging skills in the game

- They scale from either attack, magic or dexerity, making them usable by pretty much anyone meant to deal damage

- Access to pretty much every element in game ( some chaos ones included )

- On top of that, access to status effects is excellent as well and with high chance of success

- Did I mention they're conditional skills that deal even more damage if you apply the proper status effect beforehand, and very often the sorcery will apply the same status effect that gives it the conditional bonus

Well, its not all sunshine and rainbows. There are some disadvantages too:

- Sorceries that use SP are generally very costly, MP ones slightly less so

- Getting the enemies to actually use the skill can be a chore and exercise in patience

- Sorcerer is one of the last Jobs you will unlock in Part 2, so by this point you won't have that much left to accomplish in this game

- Best Sorceries are generally learned from optional bosses or Labyrinth of Chaos superbosses which adds to the above

If the above doesn't discourage you, why not try Sorcerer today?

So how do I unlock Blue Ma- I mean Sorcerer job?
The unlock itself is trivial, the real challenge is getting there. You need to clear both the main game and finish the collaboration scenario first, and then recruit every Collab unit. If you havesuccessfully done all of that, check your companion board in Pocket Castle for a new entry from Ilias. Ilias wants to create a new job and all you have to do is visit her in the Hall of Creation on the Snow Continent. After the short scene, you will have access to the Job. Hooray.

How do I actually learn this stuff...
To learn a sorcery successfully, you need to fulfill a few conditions:

- Learning ability has to be equipped ( you can obtain the ability for any job by mastering Nether Sorcerer )

- The character learning the sorcery has to survive the attack

- The character DOES NOT NEED TO BE THE TARGET of the attack, nor does the attack have to be aimed at your team ( you just need a single person to know the sorcery to easily spread it to your companions )

- Additionally, status effects like Paralyze, Incontinence, Seduction ( anything that stops you from taking a turn really ) will prevent the afflicted character from learning the sorcery

If you fulfill the above conditions, a specific sound will play and the text box will notify you which character(s) successfully learned the sorcery.

Last few words before the list you've all been waiting for
The following list will be in the order in which the skills will appear in the game, along with some footnotes in case the skill is annoying to get ( I'm looking at you Consumption : and some examples of monster girls to learn it from. I will not show every single enemy you can learn a specific sorcery from, generally it will be some of earliest, easiest examples.

As for a few final tips:

- Having a Ribbon can make your life easier to learn a few of the more status-effect loaded sorceries ( but Ribbon does not prevent binds so be careful about that )

- One of your Sorcerers should have a weakness to bind ( poor Luka... ) as some moves are exclusively used while bound ( Again, Consumption you damn rascal... )

- Use multiple sorcerers, Learning only cost 5 Special Ability Points and by this point maxing even an Advanced Job takes a few runs of Unlimited Colosseum battle

- If you don't wanna bother with learning all of them, aim for the ones that aren't just simple attacks like Fruits of the Sea, Death Claw, Golden Honey, Consum- you know the drill by now

Changelog
- v0.1 (30.12.2021) Started writing this guide.

- v1.0 (04.02.2022 ) Added all the currently present sorceries in the game, at least I believe so. Easy way to check if you got all 108 is check if your Sorcery skill menu has EXACTLY 6 pages of skills, since you have 18 skills per page. 18 x 6 = 108. Unless ToroToro releases another update or Part 3 comes out, I consider the guide complete.
