Spells are nullified in the basement of the Pyramid, making the room a harsh punishment for those who fall through the pitfalls on the first floor. This includes spells cast in battle as well as from the map screen, as well as those cast by {{MFamilies}}s. Because the A.I introduced in the [[Cell phone]] version does not recognize the programming tag in the area, {{Party 3}} members will attempt to cast spells until their tactics are changed or the player takes manual control. | Spells are nullified in the basement of the Pyramid, making the room a harsh punishment for those who fall through the pitfalls on the first floor.

Although it is accessible when the {{Party 3}} first visits the Pyramid, it is unlikely that the {{Party 3}} have the strength to retrieve it and escape without dying until later in the game. The reward is worth the trial by fire, however, as the golden claws provide a substantial {{Attack}} boost over the [[iron claw]]s and [[knuckledusters]]. | ||
