I haven't been on gamefaqs in a while and I'm kicking myself for not noticing this user has been looking into some interesting stuff in this game. I'll also link this other thread he made detailing enemy's healing w/o players knowing

The Unity Magic glitch has been known for a bit but I haven't listed it on the site since it seemed like it has very limited use, if this impacts the any% route I'll get to updating the glitches guide to include this.

Still a lot of unknowns about it, but in general for the speedrun, we don't have access or any real use of Unity Magic until we've completed the 4th shrine (we do all 4 shrines at once as it's the most convenient w/ world movement, spells, and levels).

The most interesting thing he posted is being able to Leona bolt 1 + unarmed tina making bolt break, which normally requires Leona bolt 1 + bolt sword user attacking. If only Tina's atk wasn't bad this woulda been crazy. I guess the tl;dr is this game is still a mystery and who knows what this might lead to.
