The Elemental Gauge indicates whether you are under the effect of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, and the duration of their effects. Casting Fire spells grants Astral Fire, which increases the power of Fire spells in exchange for their increased MP cost. Casting Ice spells grants Umbral Ice, which decreases the MP cost of Ice spells and greatly increases the speed with which MP is recovered. While in either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, there will be no MP cost for spells of the opposite element.

Enochian will be granted when you are under the effects of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, and it will increase the amount of magic damage you deal. The effect will disappear when Astral Fire/Umbral Ice has finished.

Casting Blizzard IV grants three Umbral Hearts which are represented by arrows in the Elemental Gauge's lower-left corner. An Umbral Heart is consumed each time a Fire spell is cast, nullifying the MP cost increase applied by Astral Fire.
