Notes

  1. Agni: the Hindu god of fire who forms a quintet with other elemental gods including Prithvi (earth), Ap/Varuna (water), Vayu (air), and Aksha/Dyaus (space).
  2. Agni is also a demon in the Megami Tensei series, a franchise of JRPGs that's often referenced by ZUN.
  3. Undine: a water nymph/elemental in Western folklore. According to Paracelus, undines form an elemental quartet with sylphids (air), gnomes (earth), and salamanders (fire).
  4. May be a nod to the tragic play Ondine in which a knight, recently engaged to a princess, falls in love with an undine.
  5. Undine and Sylphy are demons of the Elemental Race in the Megami Tensei series.
  6. Sylphy, or Sylph: a wind elemental of Western folklore. The slyph are forest spirits. According to Paracelus, sylphys form an elemental quartet with undines (water), gnomes (earth), and salamanders (fire).
  7. "Horn" could reference the horns of a beetle as a proposed etymology for the word "sylph" is the Ancient Greek "sílphē" (beetle), or it could be a reference to the generic name for a brass instrument (ZUN is fond of the trumpet; brass instruments use air to function). Alternatively, since Patchouli's magic is based on the Chinese concept of Wu Xing ("The Five Elements"), it could be a reference to "horn" (角 jue), the third degree of the Chinese pentatonic scale (this is Patchouli's third spell card, after all). In Wu Xing, 角 corresponds to wood, making sense since the sylphy is a forest spirit.
  8. Sylphy and Undine are demons of the Elemental Race in the Megami Tensei series.
  9. Trilithon: a structure built from three stones, e.g. Stonehenge.
  10. Lazy: slow moving.
  11. Fatigue: structural damage that occurs when a material is repeatedly put under stress.
  12. Connecting to Patchouli's previous water element spell card, undine is a generic name for any female water nymph including the naiad. Naiads are river and lake spirits that drown those who reject their advances.
  13. Green is the color of wood in Wu Xing.
  14. Silver Dragon coins (龍銀 lit. "dragon silver") were special issue coins produced in China (and later in Korea and Japan) during the 1900s.
  15. Many types of Liriope are referred to with the name "silver dragon". There also exists a plant native to Japan named "silver dragon grass" (銀竜草), scientific name Monotropastrum humile. Patchouli is named after the patchouli plant.
  16. May be a reference to the "Silver Dragon" (シルバードラゴン) from Emerald Dragon (which released on the PC-98) or the "Silver Dragon" (シルバードラゴン) boss from Tower of Druaga.
  17. Cromlech: a stone monument consisting of monoliths encircling a mound.
  18. Water Elf: a nymph. The theme of stage 2, which takes place at the Misty Lake, is "Lunate Elf".
  19. Mercury is a heavy metal best known for being extremely toxic. Mercury is one of the most common natural contaminants of water. Ingestion of mercury can lead to mercury poisoning. In both Western and Eastern alchemy, mercury was thought to have medicinal properties and was considered an ingredient towards making the Philosopher's Stone. Emperor Qin Shi Huang is suspected to have died ingesting mercury, thinking it would grant him immortality. It's also worth noting that in Qi Yao (the Chinese Wu Xing influenced concept of a seven day week that Patchouli bases her magic off of), the element corresponding to Wednesday and the planet Mercury is water.
  20. Megalith: a large stone used to construct a structure or monument, e.g. Moai.
