Sylphid, also known as Jinn, is one of the eight Mana Spirits in the Mana series. Like the other Mana Spirits, Sylphid first appears in Secret of Mana. Taking his name and likeness from the djinni of Arabian mythology, Sylphid represents the dual elements of wind and thunder. The majority of Sylphid's powers and abilities control thunderstorms, tornadoes, wind gusts, and focused blades of air. In many titles, Sylphid has secondary abilities that analyze and alter states of mind among foes, such as confusion and "spacing out." Since Trials of Mana, he can also support parties by manipulating magic defense or quickening the flow of time. Befitting his element, Sylphid is typically cast as an "airhead," not always aware of his actions, but nonetheless cheerful and helpful toward those who seek his aid.
His English localized name, Sylphid, has roots in predominantly English myth, where sylphs and sylphids were faeries associated with wind.
History[edit]
Secret of Mana[edit]
Sylphid is the third of the Mana Spirits to join the party, obtained from Grandpa in the Wind Palace adjoining Sprite Village. Before the heroes engaged Spring Beak, the Empire wiped out the village. Grandpa was forced to retreat with Sylphid, though he was blinded in the assault. He willingly gives Sylphid over to the party.
When Sylphid joins, Primm is granted the ability to call Thunder Saber, Balloon, and Analyzer. Popoi can call Air Blast, Confusion, and Thunderbolt.
Trials of Mana[edit]
Sylphid is once again the third Mana Spirit the party encounters. He is found in Gusthall on Heavensway in the Laurent region, but when the Darkshine Knight breaks into the cavernous maze, he forces the elemental to call forth Harcypete. Defeating the master harpy releases Sylphid to accompany the heroes.
The heroes can call on moves such as Defenseless, Accelerate (2D version only), Thunder Saber, Cyclone, Thunderstorm, Stun Gust, and Thunder Technique.
Sword of Mana[edit]
In Sword of Mana, Sylphid is the fifth Mana Spirit obtained. He is imprisoned within a round boulder inside of a small cave deep into Jadd Desert. The Hero and Amanda have to defeat four Cockatrices in order to free him. Upon being freed, Sylphid rejoices and reveals that he has been imprisoned for a long time. Sylphid's unique move is Speed Up, which costs 3 MP, and summoning Sylphid himself costs 6 MP. Whenever Sylphid is summoned, it creates a whirlwind in front of him. This is necessary to destroy a stone seal blocking a cave near the one where the Hero and Amanda rescued Sylphid.
Dawn of Mana[edit]
- “Blowing in on the wind!”
- —Sylphid
Sylphid is the first Mana Spirit obtained when he offers himself to Keldric and Faye in chapter 1. His power summons tornadoes to push back enemies and loose objects.
Heroes of Mana[edit]
- “The spirit who controls the power of raging winds. Mellow and easy-going, just like the breeze.”
- —Notebook
Visions of Mana[edit]
Sylphid is the patron spirit of the dragonfolk and the village of Longren. His power is contained within the Sylphid Boomerang, which allows a party member to change to a Wind class and manipulates winds in designated field areas. The vessel is obtained from a mischievous duo of dragonfolk pups in Aery Passage.
Sylphid himself is met in the ruins atop Mt. Gala, where he was drained to the point of unconsciousness by a rampaging Mantis Ant. He recovers when the party defeats the beast.
Circle of Mana[edit]
Sylphid makes a cameo appearance in the online game, along with several other characters from the Mana series. He appears in 1 set of cards.
