Sun has changed nearly everything. Continents have shifted. New countries
have emerged. New species have appeared. But the world is now imperiled by
a new threat. Psynergy Vortexes, which suck the elemental Psynergy from
both the land and power-wielding Adepts alike, are spreading across the world.

– are drawn into the mystery behind the vortexes, as they cross a chaotic world
that is succumbing to a new evil.

Nintendo DS screens let players experience the game like never before.

effects over people and the environment. Touch control also streamlines battle
commands and gives players a stronger tactile connection to the action on the

treasures, encounter dangerous creatures and manipulate objects blocking their
path. Players will also hunt for and collect Djinn, mysterious elemental creatures used
