Sphere Grid
+The purpose of the Sphere Grid is to get your characters stats level-up, (higher HP/MP, defense, strength, etc.), and to learn skills/abilities/magic, (Scan, Fire, Cure, Power Break, Doublecast, etc.). Here's some helpful information below about the grid.
Sphere Levels
After winning battles your characters will level up. The higher their level the more they can move along on the Sphere Grid. For example, if Tidus's level is 5, he can move 5 spaces. After he moves 5 spaces his level will be back at 0. Also, you can back-track the route your character took on the Sphere Grid by using 1 sphere level for every 4 back-tracked spaces. Keep in mind, though, that back-tracking isn't really that helpful.
Activating Spheres
Each character begins at a different part on the Sphere Grid. They can use their sphere levels and sometimes some special spheres, to move along the grid.
+By using Power Spheres, Mana Spheres, Speed Spheres, and Ability Spheres they can activate nodes on the Sphere Grids. They can also use special spheres, such as Black Magic Spheres, to also activate nodes. Your character must be on the node or on the node connected to it to activate the node. Or, you can use a special sphere that's able to activate a node that may be no where near them.
+Some nodes are empty and have nothing to activate, but if you have a special sphere like an HP Sphere, you can turn it into an HP node, or something else depending on the sphere.
+At some points on the Sphere Grid, there are locks blocking the way to other spheres. To unlock these, you'll need to use either a Level 1 Key Sphere, Level 2 Key Sphere, Level 3 Key Sphere, and Level 4 Key Sphere, (depending on whether it's a level 1, 2, 3, or 4 lock).
+As your characters activate nodes, they'll leave their color behind. Just look around the edge of the node and you'll see 7 little circles. When your character activates the node, one of the circles will light up with their color. Remember, more than one character can activate the same node. This makes it easy to see who has activated what on the grid. Below is a picture showing each character's color.
