System of magic used in Shadow Hearts: Covenant.
There are seventy-two crests to be found in the game, each representing a demon from "The lesser Key of Solomon", as well as being alligned with a specific element.
They can be found lying on the ground, in chests, or gained from talking to NPCs, sidequests, or beating certain bosses.
Crest Mechanics[]
Each individual Crest contains a set number of magic abilities. By placing all the Crests in their correct locations on the Solomon's Key, additional abilities will be unlocked.
Crests are used by simply equipping characters with that Crest - Yuri and Kurando are unable to equip any Crests, however.
Every Crest has its own unchanging level, representing its strength, and each character has a Dominance Capacity Points (DCP) Stat. Characters are unable to equip Crests whose level exceeds their DCP stat.
Regardless of their DCP however, only a maximum of 8 Crests may be equipped per character.
Equipped Crests which share an ability will reduce that abilities MP cost by 50%. Any further multiples will reduce that cost further by 1/3rd.
