Magatsu Mandala is a recurring skill in the Persona series. It is a skill exclusive to Magatsu-Izanagi.

Profile

Magatsu Mandala is named after the sub-area of Magatsu Inaba in Persona 4. As a skill, it was first used as one of Tohru Adachi's awakening moves in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Adachi can use it to give himself a buff that makes Magatsu-Izanagi inflict different status ailments with his C and D button Persona moves. The DLC for Persona 5 added Magatsu-Izanagi as a Persona with a skill of the same name. The Persona 5 skill takes inspiration from the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax skill and also inflicts status ailments.
