The Magical Girl, the outfit unlocked by these skills.
Lumen is a category of skills that cover understanding and proficiency at magic, how to sense it, resist it and wield it.
Unlike every other skill in the game, Lumen skills can only be trained if Elodie gets her crystal and a magic tutor.
Studying it unlocks the Magical Girl outfit when you have 25 in each of the category's three skills. The Magical Girl adds 10 points to each Lumen sub-skill when worn.

Sense Magic[]
| Points | Description |
|---|---|
| 10 | You close your eyes and learn to feel the magic inside you. |
| 20 | You practice using small amounts of magic and feeling that power outside of yourself. |
| 30 | Your mentor summons up magical energies to strike the nearby ground so that you can learn to sense someone else's spells in use. |
| 40 | You close you eyes and call out when you detect your mentor casting a silent spell beside you. |
| 50 | You learn to detect ongoing enchantments, such as blessed weapons that can do magical damage. |
| 60 | You learn to tell the difference between different kinds of magical signatures, so that you can tell roughly what a spell you detect is meant to achieve. |
| 70 | You expand your magical perceptions to give you some idea of where a detected spell was cast from, and how long ago. |
| 80 | You learn to detect the latent power that signifies a Lumen even when he or she is not actively working magic. |
| 90 | You expand your senses, learning to detect spells and magical creatures at a greater distance. |
| 100 | You learn to detect lingering traces of strong magic from the past, even when the spell has long since completed. |
Resist Magic[]
| Points | Description |
|---|---|
| 10 | You increase your awareness of your own thoughts and emotions, making it more difficult for mind-affecting magic to twist your reactions. |
| 20 | You learn to consciously project a magical field through your thoughts, blocking outside magic from touching your mind - but only when you have the energy to consciously resist. |
| 30 | You gain innate resistance to light and dark - you can now see in the blackest of caves or stare into the sun without going blind. |
| 40 | You learn to consciously project a magical shield around your body, blocking intrusion; a powerful technique, but you can't keep it up for long. |
| 50 | You gain increasing resistance against heat and cold, becoming comfortable in different weather and environments (and being able to sip hot soup without burning your tongue!) |
| 60 | You learn how to quickly flare magical shields around you to defect an incoming attack. This uses much less energy than a constant shield, but it requires good timing to be effective. |
| 70 | You learn how to maintain a low-level deflection field, so that magical attacks not directly targeted at you will slide harmlessly aside. This doesn't need much power, so you can keep it up for long periods of time. |
| 80 | You learn how to directly counter offensive magic with your own power, so that you can 'burn out' a spell that someone else has cast. This is very dangerous if the other spell is too powerful! |
| 90 | Your increased skill and power gives you innate resistance to mind-affecting magic. |
| 100 | Your understanding of the flow of power gives you increased resistance to damage caused by magic, even without a shield. You can still be hurt, but less than an ordinary human would be. |
Wield Magic[]
| Points | Description |
|---|---|
| 10 | You learn to summon a small glowing light which you can then move around independently. |
| 20 | You learn how to cast rays of white light which can banish shadows and blind you opponents. |
| 30 | You learn to create tiny discs of solid light which can fly through the air and cut into targets. |
| 40 | By concentrating, you can create a wave of discontent which panics or enrages animals in the area. |
| 50 | You learn to create a blade of solid light, which you can wield like a sword to slice through flesh and stone alike. |
| 60 | You learn to direct a beam of searing light through the end of a staff, burning whatever you point at. |
| 70 | By concentrating, you can create a wave of discontent which panics, confuses, or enrages other people around you. |
| 80 | You learn to shape light into images of things that are far away, or things that don't exist at all. |
| 90 | You learn to create a powerful explosion of light, burning those caught within and blinding others who look at it. |
| 100 | You learn how to make use of images to wield your other powers at a great distance. |
