It seems that magic related skills just don't affect those mobs, but I defeated the boss in the very beginning of the gameplay and continued on. The cutscenes are not eligible in any form whatsoever, as they are terribly paced, and the characters literally walk onto pixels and disappear. I'm referring to after the main character woke up and the other character walked into the table and disappeared, speaking of which; the paths you're meant to follow aren't clear at all. At first I thought you were supposed to walk into the table considering what the secondary character did, and then I thought it was straight down; but really it was in a little spot to the right of the map. The spelling and punctuation errors just get worse once you go on, and the pacing gets worse too. It's okay to have about 20 frames in between a couple messages, but 60 frames after each text box is way too much. Plus, I don't like how in some cutscenes, you can't click to skip to the next text box; this has flaws, as either you may not be able to read it, or you read it fast and the text box stays on screen for another second; this gets annoying after a while.
