Persona Summoning: The ability to utilize Personas, powerful manifestations of the mind and soul. Personas can move and attack independently of their users, allowing for double-teaming between their user and the equipped Persona. Each Persona has a set of elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. Unlike the respective casts of Persona 4 and 5, the cast of Persona 3 can use their Personas in reality. Makoto's initial Persona is Orpheus, its evolved form is Orpheus Telos, and his ultimate Persona is Messiah. Each Persona has a unique set of statistics and elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. The Personas that Makoto has access to are listed here.
Persona Skills: Personas are all able to use certain skills and spells related to the stories/mythologies of the figure they are based on. Persona-users and their Personas can use skills and spells independently of each other.
