Glimmer can occur in two ways: | |||

So make sure you visit the dojo after you're done recruiting your new party members.) | *Teach it to them through the dojo (after 1st time jump) after you've learned the tech.

*Spark it in battle. | |||
<br /> | |||
Tech Sparking can actually be somewhat counter intuitive in this game as it has no relation to your skill level what so ever. Rather, it's dependent upon the monster's tech level and the spark difficulty of the tech itself.<br /> | |||

*Calculate the tech-spark-index number. The Tech Spark Index (we'll call it TSI for short from here on out) is calculated as TSI = Tech Level of Monster - Spark Difficulty of Tech.

What this means is that while you can just go to the most powerful monster possible and spark away, it's actually more efficient to find a monster of the appropriate level and spark the tech you're looking for one by one.<br /> | |||
The following tables show the different techs, their difficulty sparking, and the best enemies to do that with. (Along with the creature level)<br /> | |||
