The scene goes to Exodes & the four Mutants arriving in a forest on Planet R. Here is where Exodes teaches them the five bases of magic.

Exodes: "This is Planet R."
Slythe: "So this isss Planet R."
Vultureman: "Caww... looks deserted."
Exodes: "This is the best place for you to learn the five bases of magic without any interference whatsoever."
Monkian: "Hoo-hoo... so what is this magic you've been talking about."
Exodes: So begins the lesson... all of you sit down and I will teach you all the five bases of magic.

The four mutants sit down as Exodes gives them the lesson of magic.

Exodes: "There are five basic sets of magic.. There's White Magic for defense, Black Magic for offense, Jikuu Magic which affects time and space, Summoner's Magic which is a magic where a magician can summon monsters to attack or defend, and the most complicated of all... Blue Magic.
Jackalman: What's Blue Magic?
Exodes: "Blue Magic is when monsters attack you with special techniques and you know that technique, just by being hit with it once. It is a very complicated magic in which the only way to learn it instantly just be being hit with it."
Monkian: "Hoo-hoo... Sounds complicated."
Exodes: "It is, but is for later on. First we will start with the easiest of magic... White Magic."

The lesson begins...

Exodes: "The first magic to ever be learned is the magic spell 'Keal'. This spell is basically a healing spell. It can be use to recover small wounds. I will demonstrate."

Exodes got a small dagger and made an incision on Slythe's arm.

Slythe: "AHHH!!! What were you thinking?
Exodes: "Don't move... I'll perform the spell 'Keal'."

Exodes chanted the spell "Keal" and it completely healed Slythe's arm.

Slythe: "I don't believe it! The wound is gone."
Exodes: This is what's needed to be done to perform 'Keal'. Keep in mind that a single 'Keal' spell doesn't completely heal all the time. Sometimes you need to cast Keal several times or you need to chant a stronger 'Keal' spell. There's 'Keal2', which is stronger than 'Keal', but uses more magic power.& 'Keal3' is much stronger, but it's very taxing on magic power. 'Keal4' will heal any one person completely, but it drains a lot of magic power."
Jackalman: "What if someone is poisoned, for example... a bite from a cobra. Would 'Keal' be used?
Exodes: "Not always. If you're poisoned, it'll drain you're life force until you pass away, unless you use antidote. This comes in the form of either a Depoison Weed or the spell of 'Antidote' or 'Esuna'. 'Antidote' will cure only poison, but 'Esuna' will cure all negative ailments except the Zombie status. You'll need Holy Water for that. However, 'Esuna' will require more magic power and is generally used to cure those with multiple ailments."
Vultureman: "Caww... Are there any other ailments and cures for such?"
Exodes: "Yes. There is the "Sleep", which makes your opponent fall asleep until struck, "Charm" which can make your opponent your ally for a short time until he is struck, "Stone", which turns you to stone (Stone status can be cured only by either 'Soft', 'Esuna', or a Soft Potion) , 'Frog', which turns you into a frog, (Frog status cannot be cure without the spell 'Toad', 'Esuna', or a Maiden's Kiss), 'Mini' which makes you six-inches high (Mini status cannot be cured without 'Mini', 'Esuna' or a Luck Mallet). There is also the "Mute" spell. This only last a short time, but for a quick cure, use an Echo Screen potion. There is also a spell that can rob your sight, making you unable to make physical attacks, the "Dark" spell. This can be cured only by a 'Sight' spell or an eyedrop.
Monkian: "Hoo-hoo... are there other White Magic that is to be learned? I mean... is there more?"
Exodes: "There is more. There is the 'Magic Wall' spell. This casts a barrier that blocks all spells, but those of Jikuu, Summoner's or the 'Flare' spell. If you find that one of your comrades are slain, they can be resurrected with the 'Raise' spell. It brings the dead back to life but with but with an extremely low life force, so if you're resurrected, be sure to cast a strong 'Keal' spell afterwards. By the way, 'Raise' will use a lot of magic power. 'Arise' with resurrect the dead with a full life force, but uses extremely high magic power so use it sparingly. 'Libra' allows you to scan you're opponent's life force, magic power and any weaknesses. If you find yourselves in a tight spot and you cannot physically escape, cast 'Exit'. As for the most power of all of White Magic... Holy Power. This comes in many different names... either Fade, White or Pearl... but Holy is the most common name for it. This is the only offensive White Magic spell."

Exodes gave each of the four Mutants a book with all the spells of White Magic.

Exodes: "Study these. These books contains all of the White Magic spells you must learn. Be sure to study well. If you can master White Magic, you'll be well prepared for any other magic. So study well."

Three days have passed and the four Mutants are studying their books of White Magic. Exodes tests them all, and surprisingly, they all barely passthe test, but they were unable to master the stronger spells such as the 'Arise', 'Keal4' or the 'Holy' spell, but nevertheless, the four mutants passed the White Magic test.

Exodes: "I'm surprised that the four of you passed the White Magic test. As your reward, you can keep the White Magic books I've passed to you. Now onto the next part of your lesson... Black Magic."
Vultureman: "Black Magic? Isn't that difficult to learn?"
Exodes: "It's not as easy to learn as White Magic but it's not as hard as Summoner's Magic. Black Magic is mainly the opposite of White Magic... offensive. With it you can attack the enemy, with either Fire, Ice, Lightning, and other things. The first to learn are the spells of 'Fire', 'Ice' & 'Lightning'."

Exodes lifted his hand to the air and pointed at a tree. He focused his energy and shouted, "FIRE!". Instantly, a fireball came from his hand and set the tree ablaze. The mutants were amazed.

Monkian: "Hoo-hoo.. that's amazing! How did you do that?"
Exodes: "That is the 'Fire' spell. It comes in three different strengths, 'Fire', 'Fire2' & 'Fire3'. They range from a simple flame, a fireball to a raging inferno. Can any of you guess what magic can put out fire?"
Jackalman: "Uhh... Ice?"
Exodes: "Correct."

Exodes raised his hand in the air and pointed at the burning tree. He focused his energy again and shouted, "ICE!!!" Instantly, a snowstorm came from his hand and put out the fire.

Exodes: "This is the 'Ice' spell. It too come from three different strengths, 'Ice', 'Ice2' & 'Ice3'. They range from a snowstorm, and torrential blizzard to having a huge iceberg land on the enemy. Always remember this... Fire can melt Ice... Ice puts out Fire."
Slythe: "What about Lightning? You are going to teach us that, yesss?"
Exodes: "Yes I am... look at this..."

Exodes raised his hand in the air and begun chanting. A few seconds later, he yells, "LIGHTNING!!!", and a lightning bolt from the heavens struck down on a tree and splits it in half.
Vultureman: "Cawww.... that's incredible!"
Exodes: "That is the 'Lightning' spell. Just like 'Fire' & 'Ice', it comes in three different strengths, 'Lightning', 'Lightning2' & 'Lightning3'. They range from a small bolt, a large bold to a thunderstorm. The 'Lightning' spell is much stronger when used at an enemy submerged in water."

Exodes passed out spell books to the four Mutants.

Exodes: "Study these books well. These books will teach you how to use the magic spells of 'Fire', 'Ice' & 'Lightning' effectively. Study them well. I will test you in two days."
