Hi, in the original version, pixie was able to teach the player some spells. I'm curious as to why this hasn't been added, along with the ability to fast travel between areas now being for story completion?
they can teach you magic, just have to unlock the right thing with stat + find the library person to talk to, as well as a few other criteria. and while fast travel could be better, there are area skips once you finish the bulk of an area.
There is already fast travel by using the portals that open up after the area is completed. Pixie might teach you spells in the future, but right now the priority is on other things
