Synthesis is possible once one or more cores have been activated.
At first, only Effect Alchemy Cores will be available.
You can increase the number of Alchemy Cores available by learning certain skills on the Skill Tree.
Effect Alchemy Cores
Cores that alter the synthesized item's activated effects.
Enhancing these cores makes the activated effects even stronger.
Quality Alchemy Cores
Cores that alter the synthesized item's quality.
Enhancing these cores boosts the quality of the synthesized item.
Trait Alchemy Cores
Determine the number of Trait Crystal slots the synthesized item will have.
Enhancing these cores allows you to add up to a maximum of 3 slots.
Trait Crystals
You can enhance completed items by equipping them with Trait Crystals.
Trait Crystals can be obtained through various means, including exploration, combat, and Mana Converters.
Trait Crystals can be set from Battle Settings on the main menu.

Step 3: Add ingredients to the slots
Activating cores will make Alchemy Slots (slots) and drifting mana appear.
Placing ingredients into the slots will create resonance, further strengthening the synthesized item.
Items can still be synthesized even if no ingredients are placed in these slots.
Each slot only has room for a single ingredient (with the exception of certain unique slots).
Alchemy Slots (Slots)
Select a slot to place an ingredient.
Adding an ingredient to a slot will make it emit prismatic light.
If the resonance area of an ingredient makes contact with another slot, resonance will occur.
No ingredient
Ingredient added
Aside from regular slots, special slots will also occasionally appear.
Elemental Slots
Elemental Slots are slots imbued with elements.
Adding an ingredient of the corresponding element to one will grant a variety of effects.
It is also possible to add ingredients of different elements.
Fire
Ice
Bolt
Air
Element-Locked Slots
An Element-Locked Slot is sealed with an elemental lock.
Adding an ingredient of the corresponding element will break the lock.
Unlocking these slots grants a variety of effects.
Expansion Slots
Add multiple of the same ingredient to these slots to increase the resonance area.
Reverberation Slots
When resonated, these slots generate a new resonance area of the same size as the resonance area that touched them.
Phantom Slots
Slots that materialize after making contact with a resonance area. Materializing these slots allows you to add ingredients to them like regular slots.
Drifting Mana (Mana)
A visualization of mana floating in the air.
If ingredients are added to a slot while drifting mana is in the resonance area, resonance will occur and the mana will be collected.
Mana disappears once collected.
Special kinds of mana will also occasionally appear.
Eternal Mana
Mana which does not disappear even when collected, allowing you to collect mana every time you resonate it.
Condensed Mana
Resonating this mana gives you the same effect as collecting ten regular mana.
Resonance 
Shows the resonance count.
The larger the value, the stronger the synthesized item will be.

Ingredient Details

The larger the value, the more resonance area it will cover.
Quality

The larger the value, the stronger the synthesized item will be.
Effects

Resonance Area
The resonance area of the ingredient.
If any cores, drifting mana, or slots come into contact with this circle, it will create a resonance.
Tips for Picking Ingredients
The ingredients you choose will determine how strong the synthesized item is.
Once you have selected an ingredient, pay close attention to the item's resonance area and effects.
- Resonance Area
Choosing ingredients with larger resonance areas will allow you to collect more drifting mana and have a better chance to create resonance.
Make sure to select ingredients that both maximize the drifting mana you can collect and the resonances you can create.
- Effects
The ingredients you add will determine the unique effects of the item you are synthesizing.
Try your best to choose ingredients with effects that work well for the item you are synthesizing.
