Era dos Grimórios: How to Use Magic in Combat

Quick Answer

Your Magic Comes From Your Equipped Grimoire

Magic in Era dos Grimórios isn't a separate ability you learn — it's tied directly to the grimoire you have equipped. Whatever grimoire you rolled and kept is the magic your character casts in a fight. A fresh Level 1 player who kept a Water grimoire, for example, uses the Water skill in combat.

Before a grimoire can be used, it has to be rolled and kept through the Grimoire spin menu. New players receive 3 Grimoire Spins as a welcome gift from the "Welcome to Grimoire Era!" dialog (via the CLAIM button). Opening the Grimoire spin menu gives you options like Roll – 1 Spin, Skip and Auto toggles, and Buy Spins. Once you roll and keep a grimoire, it counts as equipped, and that equipped skill is what you use alongside melee attacks in combat. For a fuller walkthrough of that first roll, see the beginner guide, and the magic system page covers the broader setup.

What Using Magic in Combat Looks Like

In an actual fight, using magic is not a separate action from fighting — the equipped grimoire skill is used together with your melee attacks. In one observed example, a fresh Level 1 player with a kept Water grimoire fought "Lv. 1 Bandit" enemies in the Hayvale farm fields during the "Defeat Bandits (0/5)" quest, attacking with melee punches while using the equipped Water skill.

Completing that fight paid out as expected: the quest showed "MISSION COMPLETED" with Yens and XP rewards, and the player leveled up to Level 2. That completion feedback is the quest reward; the observed material does not identify any visible signal tied to an individual magic use.

One honest limitation: the available material does not name the exact key, button or menu control that triggers the grimoire skill. The skill is confirmed to be used alongside melee attacks in real fights, but you may need to check your in-combat controls directly in-game to find the input.
