The Differences Between Tech and Magic TECH Tech represents a character's ability to perform special attacks. As Crono and his friends proceed through this adventure and win battles both large and small, their Tech Skills will increase. A Single Tech skill is a maneuver or non-maaical power that a character can use by him- or herself during a battle against enemies. Each time one of these skills is used, the character's MP is reduced by an amount determined by how powerful the skill is. Much more powerful Tech skills can be learned during the adventure. Performing Double and Triple Tech maneuvers requires that multiple characters combine their skills and work together.

MAGIC Most of the main characters, including Crono, Lucca, Frog and Marie, will eventually earn the ability to perform magic. Each character's magical powers gets its strength from one of the planet's elements: Fire, Lightning, Water or Shadow. By combining the first three elements, the strongest type of magic, Shadow, can be achieved. The evil forces you encounter have the power of Shadow magic behind them. For Crono and his pals to obtain their magic skills, they must first meet Spekkio. By combining each character's Magic and Tech skills, Crono's team becomes extremely powerful. Knowing when and how to use each magical power and Tech capability comes with experience.

Chrono Trigger 7 Double Tech ..DOUBLE When two characters combine their Tech skills, they can perform a Double Tech. To work, both characters must have the required amount of MP, and their battle gauges must be fully charged. CRONO + LUCCA ire m
