Trivia

  • InGaiden, when an attack hits with Slayer active, small fairies (similar to those fromSeraphim, except smaller) circle around the tip of the lance, and then turn into sparkles and disappear.
  • Slayer is active on any weapons used, not just light magic; this can be seen when anoffensive staff is used on a monster, as the staff's icon will flash, indicating it deals bonus damage, though this has no impact on the staff or its effect.
