As one of the Ten Sages, Ringo is an incredibly powerful [[mage]], said to be one of the greatest to have ever lived. She seems to specialize in Fire magic. One of her spells, '''{{h|Azure Requiem}}''', creates a blue flame strong enough to instantly cremate Drei's body. She also knows some healing magic, but admits it is not her forte. | |||
=== | In ''BBDW'', Ringo is able to fully demonstrate her mastery over offensive magic. Her preference is in fire and lightning spells, using both to great effect in order to incinerate her foes.
