Hack description
Seiken Densetsu 3 / Trials of Mana -- Useful Energy Ball
v1.1 by hmsong
Energy Ball (also known as Moon Energy) is a skill which increases the critical hit rate to 50%. However, due to a bug in the original game that made critical hits non-existent, Energy Ball was completely useless.
This patch makes it so that Energy Ball increases all stats of the target ally (basically, the opposite of Black Curse), instead of increasing the non-existent critical hit rate. It also decreases the casting time a bit. However, it also increases the MP Cost from 6 to 7.
This also changes the effects of the Energy Ball items (Death Wolf Soul and Wolf Devil Oil).
Applying Notes:
- This is specifically for No Header ROM. If you only have a Headered ROM, then you can use TUSH (
https://retrohackers.net/utility-details.php?id=608/) to remove the header.
- Compatible with the English
NCorlett-translation patch. But again, you need a Unheadered ROM. If you are using the translation patch from Romhacking.net, then you need to apply the translation to a Headered ROM first, then use TUSH to remove the header. And then you can apply these patches.
- Compatible with the new Trials of Mana ROM, released in 2019. But again, you need a Unheadered ROM.

- This changes the contents of the game in many ways, such as equipment bonus, level-up change, class balance, difficulty, boss behaviors, running in battles, MP regeneration, dungeon format, and tons of bug fixes. It's a completely new game though, since so much has changed, and the game progress is slightly different.
- There is also a forum (google "Sin of Mana forum"), where you can ask the creator (praetarius5018) numerous questions. He is very helpful, and even helps you to create your own hack. He certainly did for me.
- Sin of Mana is NOT compatible with the new Trials of Mana.
- Sin of Mana is NOT compatible with hmsong's patches.
Please leave comments or reviews. This would give the creator ideas on what is good or not, and depending on the situation, even revise the patches.
