Arle Nadja, Ringo Ando, and Amitie engaging in a 3-way Puyo Battle

“	When four monsters of the same color are connected, magic power shall be released. Thus, the Goddess of Spacetime shall open the Gates and the monsters shall be spirited away to the Otherworld	„
	~ The forbidden Spellbook's description of the Owanimo Spell

Background

Puyo Battles are magic battles that take place between two individuals who can summon Puyo. When four Puyo of the same color touch, they can be sacrificed to the Goddess of Spacetime through the use of the "Owanimo" incantation. This is known as "popping" Puyo. When Puyo are popped, they release magical energy that fuel the battler's magic attacks. Popping Puyo also has the side effect of dropping hard Nuisance Puyo on the opponent. The battle ends when either individual is incapacitate by the opponent's attacks. All Puyo battles follow these basic rules, but there are multiple rulesets that add on to, and alter these basic principles.

Notable Terminology

• Puyo: Weak monsters that are typically used to train young sorcerers. They come in 1 of 5 coors, with each color having a different personality.

• Chain: Puyo battlers have the ability to stack 'puyo on top of each other. The act of utilizing gravity to make multiple sets of Puyo pop with a single move, is called a chain. The larger the chain, the more powerful the spell, and the more Nuisance Puyo is generated. At higher levels, a single chain is capable of generating hundreds of Nuisance Puyo to drop on the opponent. A large chain can even be strong enough to one shot comparable opponents,

• Offsetting: A technique utilized in all Puyo rulesets excluding Original Rules. Puyo battlers can reduce, negate, or reflect incoming damage through creating Puyo chains. If the energy generated by the chain succeeds the power of an incoming attack, then the incoming attack will be reflected back at the original attacker, with the added damage of the chain. Every battler has a unique offset technique.
