Faie's Fairy Magic

Explained Vacuum orb transport and Fairy Spring magic
Faie, the fairy companion who travels with Elliot throughout the game, can learn five distinct magic abilities by finding Shrines of the Mystic scattered across Philabieldia and its four ages. Each ability has both a combat application and a role in exploration and puzzle-solving, making Faie a versatile presence in and out of battle. Magic is governed by a shared meter; abilities cannot be used indefinitely, and some consume more of the meter than others.
Faie's Magic Lessons become available after learning Ignite, completing its Shrine of the Mystic trial and leaving the shrine. The scored lessons use Faie's learned powers and can award music records once the relevant unlock conditions are met. See Music Tracks and Unlocks for the complete in-game track list and the special revival condition.
The shrine locations below are grouped by era.
Power | Age | Region | Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
Sprint | Age of Safekeeping | Westerea | Northeast of Rainbow Lotus. |
Ignite | Age of Reconstruction | Westerea | Near the Open Plateau guidepost. |
Warp | Age of Reconstruction | Neverwither | Northeast of the Neverwither guidepost. |
Vacuum | Age of Magic | Garretbelt | On the southwestern ledge. |
Copy | Age of Budding | Whiterea | Northeast of Whiterea, beside the Dragonpillar - Approach guidepost. |
For the 24 Shard of Life challenge routes, see Shrines of Life.
The table below lists all five confirmed abilities with their uses in combat and in exploration or puzzles.
Ability | Combat Use | Exploration and Puzzle Use |
|---|---|---|
Sprint | Increases Elliot's movement speed, useful for repositioning or closing distance on enemies. | Faster overworld traversal; Faie's Magic Lessons minigame involves racing downhill to outrun an avalanche. |
Warp | Instantly teleports Elliot to Faie's current position, consuming half the Warp meter. Useful for escaping a surrounded position or repositioning quickly. | Crosses gaps, pits, and moving platforms; the Faie's Magic Lessons minigame for Warp takes place in a lava environment with platform traversal. |
Ignite | Deals fire damage to enemies; can detonate enemy bombs before they reach Elliot; effective against specific enemy types. | Lights torches, melts ice blocks, triggers explosives, and burns obstructing grass. |
Vacuum | Pulls surrounding enemies inward; captured enemies can be attacked immediately or thrown off ledges. | Draws in objects and dropped loot. Move Faie beside a red orb with Vacuum active to pick it up, then carry it to a floor switch. If the charge runs out, the orb drops; recharge and pick it up again. |
Copy | Faie transforms into a duplicate of Elliot that mirrors his movements; duplicates thrown weapons. Using Extra Throw Magicite on the Boomerang combined with Copy produces four simultaneous boomerangs. | Faie's copy can press a distant switch at the same moment Elliot presses another, solving two-switch puzzles that neither could complete alone. |
Faie's magic uses a shared meter that limits how often abilities can be activated. Warp is notably the most meter-intensive option, consuming half the full meter in a single use. Fairy Springs replenish the meter and briefly allow magic without consumption. This cooldown structure means planning which ability to use, and when, is part of both combat and puzzle management.
After repairing the Moonmirror in the Age of Magic, obtain the Magic Needle from Fausta to locate Fairy Springs. A spring may be active in one age and dry in another. Stand in an active spring to replenish Faie's magic and briefly use her powers without consuming it.
Interact with a spring while carrying an empty glass vial to bottle Crystallized Magic. Bottling has a short cooldown. Use the item from the inventory or a shortcut to allow Faie's abilities to work without consuming magic for a period.
Beyond the five learned magic abilities, Faie performs several roles by default throughout the game. She picks up items and currency dropped by defeated enemies, freeing Elliot from having to collect them manually. She can also attack enemies independently. Most significantly, Faie revives Elliot when he falls in battle, spending tul currency on his behalf. Easy uses a low, fixed revival cost. Normal and Hard costs increase with successive deaths and reset at guideposts. Very Hard costs increase after each death without resetting. See Combat System for full details on the revival system.
In local two-player co-op, a second player takes direct control of Faie. The Warp ability is particularly central in co-op, as the second player can position Faie to set up teleportation points across the map.
One preview source mentions that the Warp ability may be upgradeable to grant temporary invisibility. This claim comes from a single source with no corroboration across other hands-on coverage, so it remains unverified. The base Warp function, teleporting Elliot to Faie's position, is confirmed across multiple sources.
