Gaia Psynergy series

Gaia, Mother Gaia, and Grand Gaia are a series of Venus attack Psynergy featured throughout the Golden Sun series. It is available to the Squire Class series (from Gallant onwards) and the Apprentice Class series (for all classes). Hence Isaac, Matthew, Felix, and Himi can use this series of Psynergy. Ivan, Karis, and Sheba can become two of the classes in the Apprentice Class series if all of their set Djinn are Venus Djinn, so they can use the Gaia Psynergy series as well.

This Psynergy series is nearly identical to the Rockfall Psynergy series to the point of possessing identical visuals prior to Dark Dawn.



Psynergy spells
Gaia: “Attack with the earth’s might.”: This costs 7 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 40, and has a range of three targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a wide reverse shower of Venus energy and medium-sized boulders. It is available at level 7.

Mother Gaia: “Attack with the earth’s might.”: This costs 17 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 100, and has a range of five targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a wider reverse shower of Venus energy and medium-large-sized boulders. It is available at level 24.

Grand Gaia: “Attack with the earth’s might.”: This costs 32 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 200, and has a range of five targets. The ground beneath the enemy opens up and engulfs the enemy party in a very large reverse shower of Venus energy and large boulders. It is available at level 54.

Analysis
This is generally meant to be viewed as the heaviest magic-based Venus psynergy series. Grand Gaia is also notable for being the highest-level Psynergy attainable; no character class gains additional Psynergy past level 54.

With the introduction of the Roaring Dragon Psynergy to the series in Dark Dawn, the Gaia Psynergy series now ranks second in terms of raw Venus power. The Gaia Psynergies are still more cost-effective and flexible in comparison to the Dragon Psynergies as they hit two more targets from the second stage on and spends a little less PP overall.

Trivia

 * The Gaia Psynergy series and the Rockfall Psynergy series are learned at the same levels (except the base one where Rockfall is learned at level 6 while Gaia is learned at level 7). They are also both notable for learning the final stage at level 54, the highest level to learn Psynergy. However, Rockfall is cheaper and weaker.
