Lennus II: Fuuin no Shito

The second game in the Lennus/Paladin's Quest series. The development of the game was very problematic and took four years instead of the planned two. When it was released, it sold very poorly, even after being promoted by Nintendo Power. This led to the plans for Lennus III being put on hold. The magic system was expanded to eight spirits representing the elements of fire, light, wind, gold, earth, sky, water and void. These can be used in combination or individually, making a total of 36 spells available. Instead of improving the abilities of the spirits by using the corresponding spells, in Lennus II you can strengthen the spirits by defeating monsters and gaining spirit-specific experience points in addition to the normal experience points. A Nintendo Power version of the game was released in 1997.
