combination of rune power

[blackist_hunter]

Last time I played Suikoden 1 or maybe its suikoden 2, I had combine the magical attack of the fire rune and the earth rune and it was a hell of a blast. Could you please give me some info of rune combination. I had done 1 but forgot the necessary requirements.
Example: The combination of fire rune and earth rune

wind + water
fire + lightning
water + lightning

Does it need to be on the same level? Cause sometimes it does not work. Does both of the character must attack simultaneous sa that the combination couuld happen? Because sometimes the first caster attack and the second caster does not. Could you please clarify more. Thanks.

Combination magic is when you have two characters that each have at least one level 4 magic spell. Then all you have to do is give them each one of the higher magic elemental runes (Rage, Flowing, etc.) and have both of them cast their fourth spell. Then, whoever goes first, will take both rune spells and combine them. The reason that you don't see the second character cast their spell is because the other character already combined and unleashed the spells for them. It just depends on who goes first.

Oh, and just so you know, it doesn't always take two people to use combination magic. People who have very high magic and have more than one fourth spell (like Luc, Tir, Rina, Mazus, etc.) can use combination magic by themselves.

The rune combinations are:
Fire + Lightning = Blazing Camp (2000Dmg to one, 1300Dmg to all)
Fire + Earth = Scorched Earth (1300Dmg to all)
Water + Lightning = Thor (2000Dmg to one, heals all allies)
Water + Wind = Water Dragon (800Dmg to all, heals all allies)
Wind + Earth = Storm Fang (1000Dmg to all)

Also in suikoden two the Two True Runes, the Sheild and Rune of Judgement combine, I forgot what It did.. and if you could acutally keep doing it, if you had both their 4th level spells

They don't combine, they are just cast in succession when you fight the Giant Moth during the McDohl event. The difference is that Riou gets to use "Forgiver Sign" even if he doesn't have his 4th slot available.
