Techniques (sometimes referred to as "Technics") are the manifestation of the catalytic reaction between an individual's psychic abilities and photon energy. They can only be cast by Forces, and one must have an appropriate weapon equipped (either a Wand or Rod) in order to be able to cast a Technique. Each weapon has a set number of slots used to equip techniques. The Wand offers two slots while the Rod has four. Technique disks, which can be purchased in stores around Gurhal, are used to learn a base lv.1 Technique. From there, as a Force uses a Technique in battle, the level of that Technique will increase along with its power, range and other attributes.

Techniques are essentially PSU's equivalent of magic. It should be noted however, that Techniques and magic have appeared together in the original Phantasy Star games and are thus not the same. Techniques are mental or psychic abilities, whereas magic is generally more spiritual, tapping into external forces (in most universes, mana).

Technique Elements

There are six Elements that techniques are based on: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Earth, Light and Dark. Respectively, the six technique family names for these elements are Foie, Barta, Zonde, Deega, Grants and Megid. The offensive Techniques all seem to have a 'base' form as well as Gi-, Ra-, Damu- and Nosu- forms, which are eventually weaker, but can more easily hit multiple targets simultaneously.

There are also the healing Techniques Resta and Regene, and support Techniques, that can either temporarily increase an ally's statistics using beneficial Status Effects, or temporarily decrease an opponent's. The beneficial versions seem to go by the -deal suffix; the malevolent ones by -al. The names seem to use prefixes based on their element, which presumably have certain stats affiliated with them. This system seems to be parallel to the one used for Buff Items and their names.

Technique Stacking

It's worth noting that if you link Techniques from the same Element to a Wand or Rod, the power of those techs will be boosted. The more of an element you have the bigger the boost. Putting Techniques from different elements on a weapon (even, for example, 3 Fire and 1 Ice Technique) will make the weapon elementally neutral, however.
