Spirit Coins

Spirit explanation:

Spirits are found in the same areas as eggs, where bosses used to be. A
mana level of 0 in the land means the associated spirit will not show up. Level
1 is rare, 2 is fairly common, and 3 is dominant and will appear over other
spirits. The day of the week also affects whether a spirit will show up or not.

You have your choice of four instruments, and up to 8 can be played at a time.
It is rumored that the best way to catch the spirits is to play all 8 instruments
at once, but that is merely a waste of time to have to set up. It is very important
to understand that the key modifier as to whether a spirit will like your song is
what type of song it is, not the instrument, or number of instruments. You can
just use one simple instrument and still get a spirit to like a song.

After you have the spirit close enough, stop the music, and go up to it
and speak. Usually, you can be a few steps to them, and if you run, you can
still make it to them. Getting silver or gold coins is completely random and there
are not any ways to raise the chance of receiving a gold coin.

Songs spirits enjoy:

Below is a list of songs that spirits will generally react positively to.
However, the system is slightly chaotic. If the first doesn't work, try the second
one. I have tried it out and the list below works well.

Spirit	First	Second
Salamander	Cheerful	Sorrowful
Shade	Sorrowful	Cheerful
Undine	Serene	Mysterious
Jinn	Sorrowful	Serene
Wisp	Mysterious	Sorrowful
Dryad	Sorrowful	Mysterious
Gnome	Cheerful	Sorrowful
Aura	Cheerful	Serene
Spirit	First	Second

Spirit game bug:

The bug appears at Gato Grottoes. At the meditation room in the dungeon, there
are eggs and spirits. What is cool about this place, is that if there are two
spirits, the second one will be to the northeast of you. It is so close, it can
be captured without even playing music for it. Say no to when prompted to play
music, run up, and grab it. It gives coins as always. It is a great way to save a
few wasted hours playing music.
