At its heart, Forspoken appears to be all about magic. In combat, protagonist Frey Holland wields a wide variety of spells rather than carrying an arsenal of weapons like most RPG heroes. Forspoken combat encourages players to constantly weave together new combinations of Frey's explosive spells, devastating enemies with the elements or bursts of raw arcane power. Frey can do much more than decimate the enemy, however. Ever since it was first revealed as Project Athia, Forspoken has promised players a unique movement system powered by Frey's magic. With her powers, players can leap through the air and dash across the overworld at blinding speed.
