Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a tactical role-playing game set in the world of Mardias, where players engage in strategic combat using "Coinfeigms" – magic spells powered by elemental spirits and engraved onto special coins. Players customize their magical abilities by engraving seals onto these coins, influencing their properties and power. The game's narrative involves political tensions between three nations and the mysterious influence of elemental spirits.
Story
The Legend of King Sarnus
Ancient records tell of Villa, the king who destroyed the highly civilized kingdom of Ixia and reigned over the continent of Mardias. Sarnus, the sole survivor of Ixia, challenged Villa with the help of the six Hoshigami—possessors of Marselva—and the elemental spirits.
The fierce battle ended with Sarnus triumphing over Villa. He rebuilt the kingdom of Ixia and sealed the Marselva, bringing peace back to the world. It was hoped that the relationship between the elemental spirits and humans would be restored, but from that time on, the spirits never appeared before humans again.
Countries of Mardias
Mardias is currently divided into three countries:
Kingdom of Nightweld
Located on the continent's western side, Nightweld has the longest history. It is a very peaceful kingdom that advocates multiculturalism, with many residents of mixed ethnicity. It has a temperate climate, and the landscape is dotted with Ixian ruins from long ago.
Valaimian Empire
Of the three countries, Valaim has the strongest influence. Located at the center of Mardias, Valaim used to be a culturally underdeveloped country due to its isolation from its neighbors. This changed as the current leader transformed the country into a huge military machine.
The balance of power between the three countries is equal at the moment. Valaim has recently been conducting investigations on the Ixian ruins, which has led to hostile encounters with Nightweld.
Kingdom of Gerauld
The country of Gerauld is located on the northeastern part of Mardias. The northern region is cold and heavily forested, while the southeast is tropical in nature. Despite its recognition as a peaceful, pastoral country, Gerauld is known to construct weapons and armor of exceptional quality from the materials yielded from its rich ore beds.
Ever since the Valaimian army invaded its western border about 15 years ago, anti-Valaim sentiment has been running high in the populace.
The Spirits
People receive divine protection from the elemental spirits that they worship. In Mardias, six great spirits are considered as deities.
•
Amu: Spirit of Fire that symbolizes power.
•
Ema: Spirit of Earth that symbolizes mind.
•
Sonova: Spirit of Force that symbolizes life.
•
Zeneth: Spirit of Water that symbolizes luck.
•
Gote: Spirit of Lightning that symbolizes wisdom.
•
Kashis: Spirit of Wind that symbolizes speed.
Both Elvilla and Vugtis are assisted by other elemental spirits in order to upset the balance of power; Elvilla currently has the advantage over Vugtis. However, the situation may reverse in the future, depending on the actions of Ema and Zeneth.

Engraver
The following are the commands available at the engraver's workshop.
•
Buy: Buys coins and seals.
•
Sell: Sells coins and seals.
•
Engrave: Modifies coins by engraving seals on them.
Coinfeigm
In the world of HOSHIGAMI, magic spells are known as Coinfeigms. The power of the elemental spirit needed to cast a CF is bound within a coin-shaped piece of special metal called manatite. As long as the coin is equipped, anybody can cast the CF (which is associated with that particular coin) in battle.
Seals
Seals hold no power by themselves, but when engraved on coins, they alter the coins' properties. Every seal's design is based on the crests of the six great elemental spirits, and they are mainly excavated from various ruins of ancient Ixia.
However, people who are in tune with the spirits can create seals with simple designs, which are sold at the engraver's workshop.
Engraving
CFs by themselves are powerful, but it can be enhanced through a ritual that is commonly known as "engraving." To engrave, you need to have at least a coin and a seal.
