I realized I wasn’t paying attention to spell check and “seperatre” is suppose to be “separate” but it’s too late for me to fix ok ok so the Algolian Seal is based of a Hexagram seal right ok we’re here.
…..drawing this up was easy but explaining it will not be…I apologize for sloppiness in advance.
The rotating bits I think. So the entire seal itself rotates in use, but the highlighted parts rotate differently. In a seal, this would mean these are the roots for power/energy/magic to be created. The phrase “I wish it at an alliance from several years ago” can be considered an “invocation chant”. The planets are the natural (you could even say natal HEH) source of power this magic would take from, which is why they are also rotating.
Also note the planets with the rule of 3 in the seal. Yes there’s the 3 planets but looking across the seal those planets are in line with 2 more circles. This signifies the structure and how I came to the conclusion the Algolian seal is based off a Hexagram seal, as shown in the Lesser Key of Solomon. And now we know this is based of Abrahamic religions.
However, when it comes to the general magic premise of Phantasy Star, I believe they took a more Hermetic approach to it based on the use of Zodiac symbols on Falz’s arena, the use of planets as power, mention of reincarnation in seals, and how they mention “Crowley” in PSP2I. (but we aren’t in that universe yet. Go ahead and google “Crowley” tho you’ll find him.) Hermetics also largely deal with Theurgy, which is what magic circles would be used in. (Theurgy is working with Divine through ritual, invocation or envocation, and can even get into possession. The ultimate goal in Theurgy is to unite with the Divine) But, alchemy is huge in Hermeticism, and I do feel there is a lack of alchemy references. Unless I’m missing them but I’ve been really going out of my way. It could be on a science level beyond my understanding, and relevant to Photon energy. Dr. Montague using corrupt Photon energy from monsters to make weapons is something I’ve considered, but I’d also like to know more about Dr. Osto and his experiments. There’s also, you know, the whole turning things into things using things which is a totally valid point but maybe I wanna know the how’s and why’s to that too ok.
ALRIGHT so now that its been two years, I still stand by the Hermetic approach, since Hermeticism applies different religions to their Theurgy, as well as Alchemy and Astrology (but I still don’t have much explanation to the Zodiac signs on the Falz seal)
Here’s an updated take on the seal with the elements in their proper positioning, as well as all the translated info on the MOTHER-project (mags) from the Book of Hunters.
Sorry its a bit sloppy it was quite the pain in the ass to get all the text together
Since I didn’t have much on it before, alchemy is given to us in many forms. From Montague’s end the main use of it went into making Mags. To summarize the image text; Mags are artificial intelligence armor units made (mainly) by Dr. Montague from D-Cells, that summon the Great Light. D-Cells come from Falz, a divine (evil) entity.
“Light makes darkness, a pair exists, but it doesn’t always exist.-” - Rico Tyrell
“That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above” - The Emerald Tablet
Modern saying; As above so below
Examples: Light/Dark, Yin/Yang, pure/evil, magnets. Concept of duality.
Dark can make light as they’re both “divine” elements, two sides of the same coin.
The emotional AI was likely created as a way to transmute the element of dark to light, following belief of mankind being inherently “good”.
The mirages Mags give us are based on ancient creatures from Coral, which were not affected by D-Factor until the asteroid came to Coral and the abnormal photons were discovered, which ultimately lead them to Ragol in the first place. I believe Photon Mirages are what a D-Cell contaminated version of those ancient creatures would look like.
We watch as Ult, who’s AI was not complete, is taken over by D-Factor. Similar to Vol Opt attacking the hunters, and Calus leading Elly to likely be used as a host. However, Elenor is not affected, like our mags, because Eleanor is literally the Mother Mag.
Elenor possesses a super-powered emotional AI, unlike that of her prototype/big sister Ult, and has more emotion than both Shino and Kireek. Kireek himself becomes corrupted by D-Cells. (I’ll need to properly navigate the story missions for examples)
