What are Theurgy Abilities
The Theurgy Mechanic is a feature exclusive to the Persona 3 Reload remake. It is like Persona 5 Royal’s Showtime system but, arguably, even better. These abilities become available later in the game, and every character will feature their unique Theurgy Skill with varying effects.
Once unlocked, each character will have Theurgy bars on the right side of the screen. These meters fill up during battle or when performing specific actions. You can execute their Theurgy Abilities once you have filled these bars, which will depend on the characters’ personalities.
How to Unlock Theurgy Abilities
Players can unlock Theurgy Abilities by progressing further in the game. There aren’t any specific things you can actively do other than play the storyline. Theurgy Abilities become available on June 13, the same day you unlock S.E.E.S. outfits. After 6/13, you can freely use any of the characters’ ultimate skills if the Theurgy bars are filled.

List of All Protagonist Fusion Spells
The Protagonist is the only character that can feature multiple effects. His Fool’s Arcana allows him to take on various personas, manifesting with his Fusion Spells. This Theurgy ability combines two personas to produce a powerful attack. You can unlock them via the Velvet Room’s Special Fusions. Here is the list of all combinations for the Protagonist’s Theurgy skill:
- Cadenza (Orpheus + Apsaras) – Recovers all allies’ H.P. by 50% and buffs their Accuracy and Evasion.
- Jack Brothers (Jack-o’-Lantern + Jack Frost) – Deals considerate Almighty damage to all enemies with a high chance of inflicting down.
- King and I (Black Frost + King Frost) – Deals significant Ice damage to all foes that ignore resistances and have a considerate chance to Freeze them.
- Best Friends (Decarabia + Forneus) – Deal physical or magic attack for double the damage of a selected ally.
- Scarlet Havoc (Siegfried + Mithras) – Deals significant Slash damage to all enemies that ignore resistances.
Players don’t need to do specific actions to unlock all these Fusion Spells other than playing the game. You can check if you have new abilities for the MC’s Theurgy by visiting Elizabeth, who will tell you if there are new Fusions. They don’t need to be equipped to use them since they are available anytime.
