After Gasper's long story, a solemn silence set over the team. Gasper breaks the silence once again.

"I have good news and bad news, the good news is that if you defeat the Empress, all the Spawns of Doomsday, Lavos stage or not will slowly decay and die, including the two heading for Earth, convenient eh? However the bad news is that, well, the Empress is almost unbeatable. You will need the help of the Master of War himself, Spekkio. Well that is all the help I can give you, best of luck", and with that, Gasper went back to sleep.

The team slowly stepped through the door into Spekkio's room and saw...

A red nu!!

"What are you looking at?? So, your going to take on the Empress eh? Well you need all the help you can get, we will start off by fortifying your magic."

And with that, Spekkio slowly mumbled to himself. Magus watched this with much interest. Suddenly he remarked "He is initiating the legendary Ritual of the Mage, I have only heard of this, never did I think it would be performed. It is said that if properly done, you can almost double your magic power!!" The rest of the team looked on with amazement. Robo sensors suddenly started beeping "Warning, massive energy buildup detected, it is beyond the range of my sensors". No sooner did he finish that statement when the three blinding rays of light slammed into Crono, Magus, and Lucca. "As you three are the strongest magic users, I have fortified your magic", said Spekkio. "Now you can cast the arcane spells of Luminare 2, Darkmatter 2, and Flare 2." The rest of team looked on with wonder, Luminare, Darkmatter and Flare attacks were already impressive, what kind of power would these new spells hold? "I believe Crono already has some experience with Luminare 2", continued Spekkio. "When you faced Lavos in the kingdom of Zeal, it almost killed your entire team. You wanted to save your team so you decided to use your last reserves of magic to stun Lavos and let the rest of your team escape. Little did you know that the spell you casted was Luminare 2, however your body could not contain its power so it killed you in the process. But don't worry, I fortified your body as well so you can cast it now". Crono said thanks but still sounded skeptical. Spekkio then launched into a long explanation of the magic he gave the team.

"Now that you are imbued with more powerful magic, you should know how to use it. These spells are powerful by themselves but when used together as a triple tech, you will cast the spell Eternal Magic. This is magic before the beginning of time and will probably outlast the End of Time as well. But there is another spell more powerful. Eternal Magic uses the elements of Fire, Lightning and Shadow, if you add in the water spells of Ice 2 and Water 2, you will cast the spell Seals of Armageddon. This spell has power beyond imagination, it should come in handy in the final battle. One last thing, Crono, you are given another special power. As someone who is resurrected using the time egg, you have an innate control over time itself. Now fortified with new magic, you are able to cast the spell Time Freeze. This is the most ancient spell in all of the cosmos and arguably the most powerful. It was cast only once before, and that was when your friends used to Time Egg to retrieve you from the Void. But I warn you, this spell will drain all 99 mp points and as I have never seen a Time Freeze before, I cannot guarantee its effectiveness."
