It was afterwards that Elore and Schirach made a deal; she was given a Fatestone, the Diamond of Light. When her power of darkness met Elore's power of light, they cancelled each other out, thus rendering her harmless. It was then that she was turned into a mortal girl named Schiele.

Trivia

 * Shirach never formally appears in the original SFC version of the game. Her portrait and backstory concerning the war with Elore is featured in the game intro and a sprite resembling her official artwork appears in Pubs but she never says anything. It's believed there was supposed to a be a quest involving her. Hacking the game data shows that she was meant to be a recruitable character and she does actually have a battle sprite with spell casting animations. Further evidence comes from Japanese websites that discovered she had the Diamond Fatestone, though her identity as the human incarnation of Shirach was unknown.
