11 Awakening is the magicite-driven upgrade track for Visions. Square Enix detailed it on August 24, 2026. Magicite found along the journey awakens a Vision, granting it stronger abilities along with higher-level skills and magic. Magicite is limited, so which Visions to awaken is a decision the player makes rather than something every Vision eventually receives.

55 An awakened Vision gains stronger abilities plus higher-level skills and magic. Awakening runs in three stages, and each stage calls for higher-grade magicite to draw out greater power. What separates one stage from the next in numbers has not been published.

88 Where Magicite Comes From
99  
1010 Magicite has two confirmed in-world sources. Dungeons hold it inside treasure chests, and certain powerful monsters award it when defeated. Those monsters have a name: Mighty Foes preside over the caverns dotted across the land, and defeating them grants magicite. That makes the cavern hunt the repeatable half of the supply and dungeon exploration the other half.

1313 Awakening Is Not Bond Growth
1414  
1515 Three separate tracks strengthen a Vision, and each runs on a different input. Awakening spends magicite. Affinity grows by fighting battles with the Vision equipped, unlocking more of that Vision's abilities as it rises. Mastery Ranks accumulate from mastery points earned in battle and pay out permanent stat boosts and further equippable abilities. The affinity and mastery layers are documented at Abilities and Mastery.

2222 No magicite grades have been named beyond the Magicite Shard that ships with the pre-order pack. Square Enix has not published how much magicite each stage costs, what each stage adds in numbers, whether an awakening can be undone or reassigned, or whether all 26 Visions can be awakened.
