In our hands-on preview with Forspoken, we got the chance to try out some of the the layered spells in Frey's arsenal. In order to bring together realism with fantasy, Frey can use shards to paint patterns on her nails to make spellcasting more powerful.

Gear can also be equipped such as necklaces and capes to improve stats. With RPG elements such as crafting and upgrades, you can improve a variety of Frey's skills. From long distance powers to close range spells, there's all manner of magical attacks to experiment with.

Frey is outfitted with a variety of magical spells and combat styles that you can use and adapt depending on your preferred style of play.

The latest look at the upcoming adventure offered insight into how magic is at the center of everything in Forspoken, from combat to exploration. The main character has a skill known as magic parkour, which allows her to run fast, leap great distances, and use the environment to swing across gaps and climb vertical inclines. What we've seen so far of Forspoken showcases how Frey will be a particularly athletic hero.
