   • Frog: Grasps Water magic.
   • Magus: Begins with knowledge of Shadow magic.

Spekkio, often referred to as the master of war, resides at the End of Time and plays a pivotal role in teaching characters magic. Challenging Spekkio provides players with unique rewards, the specifics of which are dictated by the player’s level. Note, however, that each reward can only be claimed once.

In his Nu form, Spekkio is resistant to physical attacks but remains vulnerable to magic. Interestingly, a combination tech involving both physical and magic components can damage him.

It’s essential for players to introduce every character to Spekkio. This interaction ensures characters can harness magic or at least have their capabilities elucidated.
