[1.  Introduction]
What are Quest Magnus?
Magnus are blank cards used in Baten Kaitos.  After you obtain your first set
of Quest Magnus, you can trap the essence of an item by examining it, ranging
from apples to secrets to water.
Some people or objects will want/need a Quest Magnus.  When you talk to the
right person or examine the right object, the Quest Magnus menu will appear.
Using the C Stick, scroll through your Quest Magnus until you find the one
needed for the task.
Sometimes you’ll want to throw away a Quest Magnus.  Go to menu, go to Quest
Magnus, then press A on the one you desire to discard.
Some Quest Magnus are endowed with the ability to change over time.  See the
list of Changing Magnus for more information.

Cloak.  Give a total of 21 Magnus to the kids and he’ll give you a Secret
